HIGH POSITIVE Outcome Request: Reason: Eval. Notes:
BEHAVIOR NOTE barking, lunging and trying to get to other dogs while working up 1 wht med sz dog left abandoned by previous tenants BEHAVIOR NOTE When walking by noticed Elmer reacting when citizens were walking by he was snarling while having hackles up and ears back. Offered treats, needs cover. BEHAVIOR NOTE As I approached Elmer he looked up at me and his tail started to wag. I baby talked him and his body became slightly wiggly. I was able to leash him up easily. He pulls hard on the leash but while inside I was able to redirect his behavior with treats. However once outside, he continued to pull and did not respond to treats. Coming back inside his pulling behavior continued. He still wasn't taking treats, but he did walk into his kennel on his own. While walking his tail wags the whole time.
BEHAVIOR NOTE Approaching run, dog comes to me with a wagging tail but starts to jump on the kennel door and vocalize a lot. Once leashed, dog starts to pull a lot especially when walking by other dogs while ignoring the treats being offered . Starts to get vocal when other dogs pass by as well. Will cover kennel door and provide with extra enrichment.
