Will have flagged tail when in direction of barking dogs but never engaged with dogs outside of yard, shifts to wagging tail when called over to leave, no issue picking up leash. Walked back to kennel with strong pull, no reactivity to dogs in passing, would drop ears and become startled passing by some reactive dogs.

Handler was able to place leash without issue. Dog walked with very strong pull; handler had to keep both hands on leash. Dog occasionally stopped to sniff and urinate. Most other dogs were closed inside for AM cleaning at the time, but this dog would look towards dogs that remained outside, tail flagged, but did not linger. In yard, dog spent majority of time sniffing around area, tail up and nose down. Wagged tail when called but did not display much interest in handler. Handler was able to coax dog over a couple times; dog would approach with soft body and wagging tail, then allow all petting. Demonstrated "SIT" command and accepted treats. Continued to allow petting. Dog approached fence line a few times, appearing to be on alert to outside barking dogs, but settled quickly and returned to sniffing. On walk back to kennel, dog had same strong pull and moderate interest in other dogs. Entered kennel easily and allowed leash removal by hand. |
