Summary (7):: 4/10/24: Bubbles is standing at the front of the kennel whining and pacing. She is easily leashed and taken to the backyard for playgroup. She approaches the gate with slight hackles and a soft tail wag. Her hackles go down and she continues to approach with a soft body. She is taken to a different yard where she relieves herself and sniffs around. On the way out she pulls hard towards the back gate and seeks exit, digging at the gate. She is not easily redirected and handler has to apply light directional pressure to keep her moving. On return to kennel she pulls back hard and is not lured in with toys are treats. She is muscled into the kennel and begins to bark and whine as the handler closes and locks the door.

Summary:: Head shy, tail tucked
Date of initial:: 4/5/2024
Summary:: Loose body, wagging tail, soliciting attention
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Bubbles so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in addition to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 2
Potential challenges: : On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration
Potential challenges comments:: On Leash Reactivity: At the care center Bubbles has been observed to react to other dogs on leash, hard staring at them, with a tense body and hackles up. She will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach them to look at you rather than other dogs. Please see handout on On Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration.
