11/07/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Bosco has taken time to become comfortable engaging in play. With continued introduction Bosco has become more interested in soliciting play from male and female dogs. Based on observation made while in our care, the behavior department feels that Bosco would benefit from slow introductions to resident dogs in a future home. 11/7: When introduced off leash to other dogs in the care center, Bosco appears conflicted. He offers very brief bows and toe taps, then cautiously moves away when reciprocated. 11/8: Bosco is initially cautious of solicitation, then begins to offer bows and engage. 11/9: Bosco offers bows and toe taps to solicit play.
