In yard canine eventually approached handler, soft body, high wagging tail, took treats gently, skin crawled when petting canine's back but leaned into handler's legs and allowed petting all over. When people or other dogs were walking by yard canine followed along fence, tail flagged, eventually lost interest and returned to handler.
