Owner reports Ai will wag his tail and attempt to play with dogs he meets outside. It is reported he is not bothered if you take his food. Ai is crate trained and has spent all day in his crate while owner was working without having accidents. Ai was friendly and allowed all handling during his initial medical exam. He walked nicely on leash for his relief walk, no pulling. Ai held gaze for three full seconds during Look item, body soft. He stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, slight wagging tail. Ai followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, body soft. He gently pulled his paw back on both Squeeze attempts, sniffs assessor’s hand. Ai showed no interest in Toy. He approached the helper dog at an appropriate pace, ears neutral, tail at spine level.
