It took a moment for the runner to loop leash him, due to him moving around a lot in excitement. He walked to the play yard with a moderate pull in all directions. He entered the catch pen with soft eyes and a high tail wag. He became banier reactive toward the dogs through the fence, barking and snapping at them. During being collared by the runner, he would whip his head and re-direct his frustration toward the handler's hand. He was muzzled prior to entering the yard due to his behavior in the catch pen. He entered the yard and approached a female Labrador in a very fast manner. He pushed her with his muzzle and she gave him an air snap correction He respected the correction and walked away. He approached a different female Labrador mix and exchanged a soft greeting with her. He displayed no outright offensive behavior and so his muzzle was removed. The female Labrador mix began to play fully run around the yard. He began to playfully chase her, but he would become aroused in his play, nipping at her as they ran. He displayed more tense behavior around male dogs while in the yard. Due to his behavior in the yard, he will be designated as playful female dogs required. He is very high in energy, pushy and mouthy in his play. So even with female dogs, he will need a dog that is ok with his energy level, pushy behavior and his way of playing.
