A dogs behavior in an Animal Care Center may differ significantly from how they behave in a home.

She was easily collared by the runner in the catch pen. She entered the play yard with soft body language. She was approached by a male shepherd. She yelped, tucked her tail, and retreated away from him. She then sat in the comer for a momert. She began to roam the yard and explore. She was wary of dogs trailing her to sniff her and she would sit down. As time went on, she began to grow more confident and relax. She began to approach and exchange soft greetings with the other dogs. She offered a play bowto a male shepherd, and they engaged in some gentle/dainty play. When play became to much or heavy in contact for her, she would yelp and sit down. She remained playful and social for the rest of her time in the yard. but she was more comfortable with calmer dogs and light to no contact dunng play. She would approach the handlers often and seek affection. She is social with other dogs once she warms up and prefers a gentle/dainty play style, with little to no contact. She may take a little time to wann up with new dogs and would do best with a calmer dog, to allow her grow in confidence and that will respect her boundaries.

She was taken to the catch pen for the handling assessment after play group. She was given a moment to acclimate to her surroundings. The handler knelt and called to her. She approached the handler with soft body language and began to seek affection. She allowed the handler to pet her head with no reaction. She allowed the handler to check her teeth with no reaction. She allowed the handler to check her ears with no reaction. She allowed the handler to touch and lift all her paws with no reaction. She allowed the handler to touch her tal with no reaction. She displayed no negative or conceming behavior toward the handler during the handling. After the handling she put her paws on the handler's knee, continued seeking affection and began to lick their face. She does yelp on occasion if there is more leash pressure, but she walked well back to her kennel without issue.
