Behavioral Notes:
Per volunteer 6/11: Bear walks very well on the leash! He does not really tug or pull, he takes his time and likes to sniff everything. He is a little bit aloof, he seemed very content to just enjoy sitting outside smelling the fresh air. He was very chill!

He was fine when I first approached him from the side to pet, and he let me pet him for a bit. I started near his ear and worked down his back. He did not seem to enjoy pets as much as other dogs so I respected when he got up. But then toward the end of our time in the yard he did give me a warning snap, when I approached from the front to pet the side of his head by his ear, and I backed off completely. There was no growling or aggressive noises, he just clacked his jaws together to snap. He was fine walking back to his kennel, too.


Per staff 6/7, Behavioral Eval:
Kennel Presentation: Laying in the back side of his kennel when I approached. I called his name and he slowly got up then came to the front.

Leash Skills: Slightly dodged the leash. Once leashed he came right out and walked on a loose leash.

Sociability: He can be flinchy with movements. Go slow and use meatballs or pepperoni. I was able to gently pet his chest and down his side.

Play: n/a

Dog Interaction: Met zippy. Tolerant of her puppy energy.

Return to Kennel: Went right back into the kennel and I removed leash with hand.

Color Level: Exp Gold
