Behavior: Average

Celery Seeds came to us as a stray on 7/7/15. Upon intake it was reported that Celery Seeds had soft body language and allowed all handling. He allowed the assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items while maintaining soft body language. He did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. Celery Seeds only displayed minimal interest in the rawhide item, and showed no interest in the toy on this portion of the assessment. The behavior department believes that Celery Seeds can go to a home with an average amount of dog experience.
