Behavior evaluations
Written by handlers, dated, in their words.
10/14/2026
Closed outside for AM cleaning. Dog approached handler with soft body and wagging tail, front paws on door soliciting attention, took treats. Easy to leash, hard pull to yard, ignored kenneled dogs in passing. Once in yard dog immediately began jumping up on handler, biting at handler's arms and grabbing PPE. Handler tried distracting with treats but dog was not interested. Used leash pressure to redirect dog off, dog then lied down and rolled onto back, allowed belly rubs, once handler stopped petting dog continued to jump up and grab PPE, tearing gown and shoe covers. Handler used leash pressure to redirect dog off again, settled as handler walked dog out of yard, moderate pull back to kennel, able to guide in with mild leash pressure, able to remove leash by hand.
