Rocky Boy wasn't sure that being leashed was a good idea and retreated to the back of his kennel when I approached. With some coaxing he finally joined me for a walk. He's a shy, scared little boy, his tail tucked much of the time, only very gradually warming up to me. He's likely housetrained 'going' as soon as we were out the door, and then pulled hard on the leash as we walked. I suspect he's not had much leash experience, which may also explain his initial reluctance to be leashed. Changing directions to make it easier on both of us, we head into the backyard where Rocky Boy can be off leash and free to explore the pen and make friends. It didn't take long before Rocky Boy joined me on the bench and cuddled close, sneaking in a kiss or two. He eventually became so comfortable with me that he wagged his tail, play bowed and we played chase! I went inside to get his kennel ready and when I returned he was waiting patiently, and play bowed to me, so happy that I had returned for him. Rocky Boy sits when asked, takes treats super gently and is just trying to figure it all out. He seems to like other dogs and interacted well with others in group play. I took Rocky Boy out later in the day, and he came forward to be leashed like we have been best friends forever! While we will never know his past, Rocky Boy likely has his reasons to be initially distrustful of people. He wants to love and be loved, and will need time to decompress, feel safe and feel comfortable with a new person. The behavior team told me they really like him, and I do too. He's a dog that will need lots of time to figure it out, and figure it out he will! If you're a patient person and understand that dogs, like people, can be shy, have secrets, and just need time to adapt, than Rocky Boy may be the dog for you...
