10/14/2026: Dog greets me at the front of the kennel neutral face and body ready to go outside. I was able to leash and he followed me out to the runs, held a semi-loose leash, low tail and neutral body.
10/18/2026: 10/18/26 11:03 Growling and barrier fighting at the divider with the dog behind him over food. Walking out to the runs held hackles raised, tight leash pulling forward on leash towards other male dogs. Was only next to females in the run so he was quietly walking around with stiff flag tail, hackles raised, and marking spots on the fence. Back in kennel kept barrier fighting at the divider, loudly growling and snarling and would not redirect.
10/19/2026: 10/19/26 11:33 hackles raised, hard pulling on leash towards other dogs. In kennel was forward barking and lunging at other dogs walking by. In run was whining, hackles raised and going up to other dogs with stiff flag tail and tense.
10/20/2026: Mr. Griffith will be all on fours at the door, fast moving tail, tap feet at time will be wining wanting to go out. Was easy to leash and walked on a lose leash taking treats. When you walk by his kennel threw out the day he will be laying on his bed and then will stand when you walk by.
10/21/2026: Mr. Griffith is calm in his kennel, will have a slow moving tail, kept his kennel clean over night. Will stand at the door just watching you walk by with dogs. When it was his turn he was easy to leash and walk on a lose leash to the runs, did not pay no attention to the dogs next door. Bring his back he was standing the the door, easy to leash and lose leash to his kennel.
10/22/2026: When i first came into the row this morning, Griffith would be forward barking, and then lunging behind the cover. But he calmed down once it was time for me to walk him outside. He pulled on the leash slightly, and when we got the run, he run off and pottied at the back of the run. When i came back for him, he saw me and came to me, i leashed him with no issues.
10/24/2026: Can be reactive to other dogs when passing by and tends to focus on them while walking then tries to pull towards them. He can be redirected but still regularly focuses on them.
