Once he was leashed walked out loosely. I did not he would become tense when feeling tension on the leash. He then began to pull and once he did he turned around and began biting down last he was scared for startled. I was able to distract then he walked forward and I followed trying to keep the leash loose. Once I got to the run he walked in and I was able to remove the leash.

While he was eating, he allowed me to pet him on the head, under the chin and behind his ears. he walked closer for more pets after I stopped petting him.

11/5/2025- When approaching the kennel, Apollo greeted me right away while holding a low tail, a semi-tense body, and lip lick. He took the treats when I offered them.
Kept close to me while he was walked for his morning walk, and became vocal and chased another dog through the fence.-KC

11/4/2025- Whole eyed, tense. Walked closely by me, scanning surroundings. Runs were full so I tethered him to fence to switch another dog out but he began thrashing, choking himself as soon as I took a step away from him.

Began pulling back on the leash going back in kennel, but once his front paws were past the threshold he scurried in the rest of the way.
