KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Brown was laying on her bed when the handler approached. She was nervous and had neutral eyes, tail, and body. SHe came forward to sniff the leash with a tucked tail and then fled to the backside of the kennel. The handler crouched down and called her forward with taps and baby talk. The handler was abel to leash her quickly when she came forward and she flinched but did not escalate.
LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls minimally, fearful on leash, walks with tucked tail
HANDLING:
When Brown came into the room she was nervous and stuck by her main handler. She took some treats but was very snatchy. She did know “sit” though! Brown was fearful of sudden handling and preferred gentle warning touches before being pet. She would flinch and give whale eye when touched too suddenly, but never escalated. Another person came into the room and Brown fled under a table and hid. She watched the new person with semi hard eyes and a tense body, but just hid behind me. When the stranger left she hopped into the handler’s lap and allowed some all over pets. It took her a while, but she got the confidence to come out and explore a bit. She gave some nervous low wags and fled when either handler moved too quickly, but tried her best to be brave. She climbed into one of the handler’s laps and cuddled in close. Brown allowed all handling when we took things low and slow, she just needs time.
PLAY:
No interest, too fearful
TOYS:
Some interest but too fearful
