The divider door was closed, and the runner walked to the other side of the kennel. Carter was at the back of the kennel with a hunched body, ears back, concerned eyes, and a tucked tail. The runner stepped into the kennel and gently tossed the leash over his head. Carter required coaxing and gentle pressure on the leash to walk, but pulled away, yelped, and bit the leash. The runner was able to coax him into walking again, but was unable to place any pressure on the leash without causing Carter to panic and flail. He was wary and uncomfortable while being collared, but the runner moved slowly and attached the collar without issue. In the catch pen, his body was tense, his eyes were wide, and his tail was tucked. He entered the yard, and immediately ran to the corner of the yard where he sat with a tense body and a fearful demeanor. One of the dogs was eventually able to coax him out of the corner, and he engaged in play with calm dogs. Carter is tolerant of the other dogs, has a medium energy level, and prefers a gentle-dainty playstyle.

Carter was the last dog in the yard when the handler decided to begin the handling assessment. He was fearful of the handler, and ran to the corner of the yard to hide. His body was tense, his eyes were wide, his ears were back, and his tail was tucked. The handler moved slowly, and was able to pet his whole body with no issues. He remained tense and uncomfortable throughout the assessment, but was easy to handle. When the assessment was over, he allowed the handler to walk him out of the yard, but began to panic and flail when he felt pressure on the leash. The handler kept him close to her side as they walked, and he returned to the kennel with some coaxing.
