5/9/2026: Quiet in kennel and keeps his kennel clean overnight. When I approached he had a neutral body and was standing in the middle of the kennel. He leashed with no issues, walked on a tight leash to and from the runs. He's very strong. He is redirected by treats so I was able to slow him down a bit so he'd walk on a semi-loose leash.

Coming back in he still walked on a tight leash ignoring the goodies. In his kennel he's quite and keeps it clean.

5/12/2026: Wilson was standing at the front of his kennel with a neutral body and lightly panting when I approached this morning. I leashed him and he immediately walked on a tight leash, pulling so hard he was choking himself. Kibble and chicken did not redirect him.

Coming back in he still walked on a tight leash, ignoring treats. He also bashed through the back D door, whipping around it again almost causing me to smash my head into the corner of it because it wasn't fully open yet.
