She was easily leashed and exited the kennel on her own. Strawberry rushed out of the kennel and led the way to the catch pen with a moderate pull on the leash, bypassing her neighboring kennels. Once inside the catch pen, she stood calm during collar and leash placement. Strawberry was then allowed into the yard, where she initially showed tolerance toward the other dogs, exchanging greetings with them while maintaining a neutral posture during the interactions. Following the introduction, she moved on to explore the environment, but air-snapped at the dogs to signal for personal space as she continued roaming the yard. Strawberry occasionally stopped by the handlers to solicit affection. She was later separated from the group after she overcorrected one of the dogs, who pressed their body against her as she stood in a corner of the yard. Strawberry was allowed to decompress alone in a separate yard before she was returned to her kennel without incident. Due to her defensive response, Strawberry could benefit from a calm companion who respects her boundaries.
