She is super sweet girl but has a little bit of anxiety. She doesn't like to be stared at, but what dog does? She knows many commands like sit, paw, down, and stay. Once she trusts you you will have her heart. She temp tested so nicely with Vanita, who has been tagged by a rescue. She took treats so gently from a little girl. Sage Ivy walked very well on leash. Sage should not be in a house with young children because of the abuse she may endured, it would be better that there isn't any chance of young kid hitting or kicking her. She was growly in the kennel yesterday, but today she was wonderful and had no problem taking her out.

Ivy is at the front of the kennel tensed body, she let me leash her and she walked on the leash with a more neutral body
position. When I went to bring her inside from the run she greeted me at the front and walked loose leash back to her
kennel.
Ivy is at the front of the kennel tensed body, ears pulled back and tucked tail. As I walk in to leash she walks back to the
back of the kennel, I am able to leash and she walks out holds a semi-tight leash.
ACT tried to get dog out of kennel but dog was air snapping, growling, and lunging forward. I then created a double leash
and while trying to leash her, she growled and air snapped at leash. With baby talk she stopped lunging forward but
continued to growl and give a hard stare. I managed to leash her and she walked out with tense body, low head, raised
hackles, and tucked tail.
Tense in kennel, hard stare, growlin, showing teeth and lunging forward at the leash.
Assisted with helping Gerald with giving Ivy Sage a booster. Allowed me too leashed and muzzle her, but kept giving Gerald
the side eye the entire time. When securely muzzled and Gerald attempted to give shot, Ivy Sage started to thrash around
on the leash and growling towards both myself and Gerald. Her body was stiff when attempting to hold and eyes were
dialated. Attempted to give shot again and still thrashed around and growling. Placed back into run to calm down.
Checked on her later after Gerald left and she was better and allowed me to pet and retrieve leash while giving treats.
ACT leashed dog for booster. Dog came out of kennel with tense body and worried face. As I stepped toward dog she
began to side eye and circled away from me. I tried to baby talk dog and asked ACT to leash muzzle. As the ACT leash
muzzled the dog began to side eye and pawed at leash muzzle. When I touched dog it began to low growl and thrash
head side to side. Paused interaction in an atttempt to calm dog down. After dog settled briefly, attempted to vaccinate
again and again dog began to head thrash, rear up and low growl. Ended interaction, unable to vaccinate.
Upon approaching the kennel, Ivy greated me with a loose wiggly body. She tensed for a second when I went to leash her,
but quickly relaxed and walked with a neutral body with a slow loose tail wag. Responds very well to baby talk. Did well
outside and when I went to remove her from the kennel, I was greeted with a loose wiggly body.
Very easy leash him up, I just used the baby talk with her and she walks beside me with wagging tail. She takes treats she
was very relax in the outside runs and the kennel too.
When I approached the kennel, dog was alert barking and growling. I attempted to open the kennel to leash up but dog
was jumping on kennel door and growling. Unable to booster vaccine due to this.
