𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 Darla is a sweet smiley thing. She tugged a bit on the leash and didn?t seem to know any commands, but she?s treat motivated, and seemed like she?d catch on fast. She was very vocal/forward with certain dogs and didn?t care about others, so I?d definitely suggest slow intros.
𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲: The dog was outside of BARC gate and i grabbed him he is super friendly.
3/3 Darla presented a soft closed mouth while having all paws on the floor. As I called to her to leash her, she stood in the kennel. While going outdoor she walked beside me while taking treats. She had floppy ears but started to get vocal when another dog passed by. I made trail of treats outdoor and she took them. While coming back indoor she kept the same behavior walking next to me calmly while loose on leash.
3/5 Darla was at the front of her kennel with a soft closed mouth and slowly wagging tail. When leashing her and taking outdoor she barked at a few other dogs in the row. When going outdoor she pulled on the leash several time I offer her treats and she did not take them. She jumped several times at me as I petted her on her head. I commanded her to sit, and she did while taking treats I offered her. While coming back indoor as I opened the door she rushed in and when walking back in the row to get to her kennel she proceeded to bark at other dogs. 3/7 Darla greets me with her front paws up on the kennel door, barking and jumping with a stiff body and tight fast wagging tail. I tossed treats to get her off the door, but she showed no interest. I used my leg to block the door as i opened it to leash her, during which she continued to jump. After the leash was placed i walked her to the run outside, while she kept a tight leash, pulling and trying to get to the other dog's kennel. Babytalk/treats/ funny noises had no effect on her distracted behavior. Once outside she calmed down and sniffed around before going potty. On the way back to her kennel she was consistently pulling to try and get to the other dog's kennels where she would growl and forward stance with her hackles up. I managed to get her into her kennel by tossing treats and quickly removing the leash. Once i had left the kennel she began jumping up on kennel and barking very loudly. Gave topple toy filled with treats, she seemed to enjoy it.
