Evaluation Notes: 1 of 3 in kennel Upon approach, dog is laying in corner of kennel with a tense and trembling body, wide eyes avoiding eye contact, pinned ears and a tucked tail. As I enter kennel, he retreats away from me pacing in kennel with same body language where he is not interested in treats offered to him. He is easy to leash and is prompted out of kennel where he is easy to pick up and carry outside. Outside he lays in grass and allows me to briefly handle him to secure leash with a tense body, wide eyes avoiding eye contact, pinned ears and a tucked tail. He is seemingly fearful of surroundings and/or other handlers and attempts to retreats away from me and/or other handlers while pawing at neck seemingly in attempt to remove leash with same body language. Restraint is secured and is he is carried back to building and returned to kennel utilizing defensive handling techniques. Once back in kennel, he is given space.
