Sour was easily taken out of his kennel; however, he was difficult to collar, growling and showing teeth during the process. Once he was collared he repeatedly mouthed the leash. During the Look item, Sour allowed the Assessor to loosely cup hands under his head and his body remained loose, tail wagging, however, when the Assessor was positioning him for the Sensitivity item, Sour froze and growled at the Assessor. The decision was then made to move on to resources, Sour did not have any interest in food but froze and growled on the second attempt to reach for the toy. Sour was surrendered to the care center by his owners of 3 years. Hiss previous owners reported that he can be aggressive towards strangers by barking and lunging.
