𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 Bella?s kennel was covered and she was curled up on her bed awake. She leashes super easily and walked very well, not stopping to greet any dogs as we made our way outside. She is a gorgeous cream color and appears in great physical health, aside from her HW+ status. She occasionally feels like sitting on command and really enjoyed playing with the squeaky toy I tossed her, giving me the cutest head tilts when I squeaked it. She was also very affectionate, coming up close and putting her head in my lap for pets.

3/17 When doing four on the floor noticed dog was sitting on his bottom while looking downward. I entered kennel and while attempting to leashed him he pulled back. Once leashed he began to walk out the kennel he walked very loose leash. When going outdoor he looks around and zig zagged a few times. When offering treats he only takes a few and as I attempted to pet him he flinched and backed away. Baby talked him coming back inside as he showed a loose body with slightly wagging tail and even yawned. Once entering kennel he sat on the kuranda bed.
3/27 During the afternoon to take photos. Dog was sitting in her kennel on the bed. When I came over and baby talked her she came over with a wagging tail. I gave treats and leashed. I noticed her focus was on anther dog in their kennel, so I tossed treats and gave her some to. Her hackles were raised a bit every time she gobbled them up to fast. But the other dogs were in the back in the kennel so she went forward instead. When we went to the photo room her body relaxed with a wagging tail. She came up to me and gave kisses when trying to take a photo. She didn't sit or stay in the photo shoot area. She was focused on the ground where the treats landed and would come up to me instead. Even when I'd put my treat hand in front of my phone she would go to my hand and lick it. She took treats from my hand very gently. To the point where she would push them outta my hand or drop it back in my hand due to trying to get them from the top of the treat.
3/30 While cleaning the kennels next to hers, I noticed Bella constantly vocalizing and also lunging at another dog I had tethered on the wall near her. I redirected using treats but she still went back to doing the same thing once finished. When loose leash walking, dog started to jump with dilated pupils and erect ears avoiding the leash by raising two front legs as she stood on her hind legs. Once leashed, she walked with a trot to the run but started to jump on the door once placed in. Will cover kennel door and provide extra enrichment.
