🐾Behavior Summary:
Thumper is a sensitive puppy whose confidence grows with patience and kindness. He was initially frightened by the shelter, tucking his tail, hiding in staff members' jackets, and seeking comfort by leaning against people or resting his head on their knees while being gently baby-talked to. Once he feels safe, his playful puppy side shines through with a loose, wiggly body, happy tail wags, and affectionate cuddles. Like many puppies, he can become overly excited, jumping up, grabbing at clothing, or getting mouthy during play, but he settles with time outside the kennel and enjoys staying close to his handler. He is sweet and eager for reassurance.
