LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls minimally
HANDLING :
In the room Kelso was very friendly and social with all handlers. He was very wiggly in the room and allowed all over handling from everyone present and would lean in when petting him. Took treats gently when offered and showed knowledge of sit. Overall he was very friendly outside and easy to handle!
