2/10/2025 Handler conducting morning cleaning. K9 demand barking at front of kennel for attention. Handler opened kennel gate, easily able to leash K9 by hand with no issues. K9 hopped out, walked with minimal pull and loose body to play yard. Sniffed and explored in play yard, approached handler frequently for pets. Leash came off while K9 was sniffing around; handler able to place leash back with no issues. Walked with no pull back to kennel. Upon attempting to place K9 back in kennel, K9 low growled. K9 did eventually hop back into kennel on his own with moderate leash pressure. K9 is food motivated. Advise potential adopters to leash and walk K9 rather than carry; he seems to prefer the independence of walking and does not enjoy being picked up.
2/8/2025 During morning cleaning tried leashing the K9 to clean the kennel. K9 was air snapping at the leash. K9 took hot dogs nicely. Wasn't able to leash using treats. I had to towel wrap K9 with a medium hold while restraining. I controlled mobility of their neck due to K9 snapping under the towel. I was able to calm them down while the kennel was being cleaned. Returned to kennel easily.
