Dax was distracted and unresponsive during Tag game, displacement sniffing. He did not pull his paw back on first Squeeze attempt, but held leg up to avoid allowing assessor to handle paw second time. Once positioned for second Squeeze attempt, Dax did not pull his paw back. Dax took Toy away, body soft. When off leash with other dogs, greets with a floppy and soft body. He solicits play with play slaps and bounces and engages in rowdy play.
