Blue-14+ Kids, Dog by Dog **Due to Sean needing neutered, his adoption will not be finalized until on or after: TBD
Sean was very pushy to get out of the kennel; jumping, pawing, barking, and licking. Sean is not used to a collar or leash pressure, he was on the brink of panic twice. He tolerated head, neck, ribs, and front paw handling, hind end and tail startled him into a jump away. With too much head/neck petting and he started to pull away and lick the handler's hand. He doesn't want to put the back of his head towards the handler. Sean leaned into the handler, but then would spontaneously jump into their face the next moment out of over-arousal. He chased the tennis ball but had no real interest in any of the toys. He took a redirection from peeing on a chair but didn't redirect when jumping up to reach onto the counter holding the food. He waited to disengage with the food bowl until she saw it was empty, he didn't show any signs of guarding food, he was more concerned with being touched while he was eating. Sean greeted the stranger appropriately and did good with his greeting other than the head on approach.
