-Kennel: He’s trained
-Leash : Although he sometimes pulls leash but he is currently training to walk next to trainer. However, if you go near the door, you can still see him running first. (Usually he’s not gonna to pull the leash too hard.)
-Food: When he’s with another dog, he tries to get a snack in a hurry but if it’s not, he’s okay. Recently, when trainers switched him to another feed and mixed it with canned food, he ate more than usual, but he still leaves some
-Barker: He barked less but he barked a little at the beginning for the first time and when the first time trainers saw strangers forced his hand into a kennel he growled (no bites)
- Separation anxiety: There is no separation anxiety but when trainers approached him or called his name, he often ran and hugged them excitedly
-Special habits: When someone familiar comes, he becomes full of charm. He runs to you and waits for a touch when you call his name. But he doesn’t come close to people he does not know and he looks scared, but he becomes attach to them once they call his name. If you sleep with him, you’ll get close quickly. (Friendly process is very important)
