Backs awy when attempting to leash, barks in kennel. Able to leash and take out. Body posture loosens up while in yard. Checks in with handler. Flinches and startles with fast movements and loud noises. Allows handling but body posture stiffens. Able to put back in kennel with no issues.

alarm barking but will relax after showing leash, I was able to leash her with ease and walk out of room. Once out she seeks attention but does startle with rapid movement. Able to complete full and invasive handling while outside. When playing she will get overstimulated and nip at hands and snarl at person but will calm down when play stops. Suggest rescue only.
has done well with like sized and smalL Dogs

Aspen had bit the adopter while walking her. Lots of dogs barking in the neighborhood and cars driving by were startling her. Victim knelt down and began petting to try and calm her when she had turned and bit left forearm.

Able to take out of kennel with double leash and lasso method.
Takes time to warm up, very fearful would not take treats.
After a few minutes out of kennel and introduction to 3 dogs, began affiliating with handler and surrounding staff. Able to complete full handling after warmed up, dog seeking attention from handler. Will flee when scared or stressed.
Does get slightly over stim with handling at times.
Will need training.
