Max was difficult to remove from his kennel showing teeth, growling. Once he was removed from his kennel he walks calmly on leash. Max was sociable when he meets the assessor but he became uncomfortable when the behavior team tries to collar him he stands tall, and tries to look large. He wrinkles his muzzle to expose his front teeth and air snapped at the assessor. We decided to skip the handling part of the assessment for safety reasons. During the resources Max was not interested in toys. He does not approach other dog, attempts to exit. Max was surrender to us.
