He was friendly with the runner in the kennel, but fearfully defensive when it came to being presented with the leash. He was easily collared by the runner in the catch pen. He entered the play yard with soft body language. He was approached by two dogs at the same time and exchanged soft greetings with them both. After the dogs broke away, he began to roam the yard and explore. He was tolerant of dogs trailing him to sniff him. He continued to roam the yard and exchange soft greetings with the other dogs. He offered a play bowto a female shepherd, and they engaged in some brief gentle/dainty play. He remained social with all the dogs for the rest of his time in the yard. He did mount a few dogs during his time in the yard, but he was easily steered by the handlers. He would approach the handlers without issue and seek affection. Milo is social with the other dogs and prefers a gentle/dainty play style.

He was taken to the catch pen for the handling assessment after play group. He was given a moment to acclimate to his surroundings. The handler knelt and called to him. He approached the handler with soft body language and began seeking affection. He allowed the handler to pet his head with no reaction. He allowed the handler to check his teeth with no reaction. He allowed the handler to check his ears with no reaction. He allowed the handler to touch and lift his front paws with no reaction. He allowed the handler to touch his tail with no reaction. When the handler touched his rear paws. he had concemed eyes and licked his lips. He displayed no negative or conceming behavior toward the handler during the handling.
He was retumed to his kennel without issue. He will need more socialization to walking on a leash. Due to the alleged pnor incident, he will require an adult only home and a bite disclosure form.
