She entered the play yard with soft body language. She was approached by a male Pitbull and exchanged a soft greeting with him. She then began to roam the yard and explore. She was tolerant of dogs trailing her to sniff her. She continued to roam the yard and exchange soft greetings with the other dogs. She offered a play bow to a male Pitbull, and they engaged in gentle/dainty play. She remained playful and social for the rest of her time in the yard. She can be pushy in her attempts to entice play, and not all dogs may appreciate this. She would approach the handlers and jump up, seeking affection. She would benefit from some basic manners training. She also climbed into the pool multiple times and enjoyed time playing in there. Lilo is social with the other dogs and prefers a gentle/dainty play style.
