--No issues giving treats but was tense/unsure in kennel (did wag tail though), started to lunge at kennel when a kennel attendant went past
--The last 2 days ghost has been laying on his bed, not paying attention to anything that is going on 3/6 jc
--Relaxed, calm in front of kennel, takes treats gently
--Ghost seemed relaxed as he approached the front of kennel, but then started low growling, and then barking
--Some lip licking in kennel but approached and loosened up with treats
--Relaxed in kennel, sniffed my hand
Personality: Ghost came in with a tough guy attitude that he has learned does not work too well. He wouldn't allow vaccinations and was har barking and growling for the first week or so. Eventually, he learned to settle down and is learning to be a gentleman. Luckily, he is very treat motivated which seems to be the way to his heart! He does have moments of reactivity in the kennel, but outside he is very sweet and gentle.
