He allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands during Look item, tail wagging. Einstein leaned into assessor during Sensitivity item, tail wagging, open mouth pant.

Although he has displayed these behaviors gently, he may benefit from obedience classes to learn leash manners as well as not to jump up or mouth. Einstein would do well with daily mental and physical stimulation in the forms of daily walks, runs, exercise, play as well as durable toys such as kongs and nylabones. Look: 1.

Einstein engages in exuberant play with males and females. He bounds toward dogs and offers vocalizations when attempting to engage them in play. He lived with a yorkie and his owner reports they got along. Based on this information the behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction to ensure the resident dog is comfortable with his boistrous play style. When off leash with other dogs, Einstein offers brief polite greeting, then keeps to himself for a long duration of the interaction. Einstein re-approaches to sniff once more, then begins to use his paws and offer bows to solicit play. 2/6 update: Einstein immediately offers bows when greeting a male at the gate but his frustration builds as the length of greeting continues, eventually he begins to vocalize before entry.
