Evaluation Notes:
Actively Nursing Litter - no dog/dog interaction at this time.
Female staff reports dog to be protective of pups and does not allow handling for routine cleaning by growling over pups with a
tense body, lowered head and wide eyes. Male staff reports ease of handling during cleaning and has been able to leash mom
and handle pups with mom present.
Dog is actively nursing upon approach and is interested in treats offered to her. She low growls at me with a tense body, lowered
head and wide eyes as I stand over her as I leash her. I crouch where she loosens her body language and takes treats from
hand gently with a soft wagging tail and pinned ears. She allows me to pet pups where she watches my movements closely and
sniffs my hands after. She is easy to walk out of kennel using a treat trail. While outside she is seemingly house trained and
displays sociability by coming over for affection with a loose body and a wagging tail. She pulls on leash back to building, once in
building she pulls on leash and walks me directly to kennel seemingly to return to pups. Once unleashed in kennel, she sniffs
each pup with a loose body and returns to nursing. She allows me to pet her chin and neck area, leaning into my hand with a
loose body and a soft wagging tail. She allows me to handle pups once more where she where she watches my movements
closely and sniffs my hands after.
Behavior possibly due to guarding of the litter. No barrier reactivity observed at this time.
