Skittish w/ sudden movements and initial touch. Could lure into a "sit". No interest in toys currently except for sniffing. Resists rekenneling, but followed handler in and ate treats in kennel.B A: Overwhelmed/anxious young dog with some minimal training. Appears environmentally sensitive in shelter environment, is treat motivated. May have lived primarily outdoors and is undersocilaized. Resistant to re-kennel.
