Once he is allowed into the pen he immediately becomes sexually motivated- licking excessively in and around her rear-end and attempting to mount repeatedly and not responding to handler interruptions or her dismissive body language. 12/16: When off leash with a male dog, Bernard displays soft and social body language.
