He was easy to leash and remove from the kennel, pulled moderately on leash while bypassing the other kennels, and was easy to collar. In the catch pen, his body was neutral. He entered the yard, and exchanged appropriate greetings with the other dogs. He engaged in play, racing around the yard with a relaxed body. When a timid male entered the yard, Max began to challenge him. His body was tense as he mounted the other dog, which caused a minor scuffle. He was easy to steer, but continued to challenge the other dog. He was moved to the side to decompress before being returned to his kennel. Max is selective of the other dogs, has a medium energy level, and prefers a push/pull playstyle.
