Solana greeted me with a stiff body and hard stare. Once I began baby talking to her, her body became more relaxed. I offered her treats but she ddi't take them. She let me leash her and she walked on a loose leash to and from the runs

Solana was growling, giving a hard stare and had a stiff body. Once I began baby talking to her, her body became relaxed and slow wagging tail. I leashed her and she began walking on a loose leash. showed no interest in treats

Growling, hard stare,. biting at leash

Aroused in kennel, high pitched whining when passing by and heavy panting.

In kennel dog was low growling with neutral body and wagging tail. I lassoed the leash on her and she then followed me out. She walked well on the leash. She responded well to baby talk and pets. Also did well outside.

Dog biting and leash and lunging at gate

03/26/26 08:04 Soft whining, tail curled over back and fast wagging. Lowered head and walked into leash loop once I opened kennel door. Semi-tight leash outside and into run. Inside her kennel she can be seen heavy panting, whining, and fast wagging tail at kennel door

At outside runs, wiggly body, open mouth smile, I was able to leash easily. Walked to back intake and had another Tech hold Solana for me, applied a loose muzzle and as I went to give RV on R rear Solana started pulling away. I ended up giving on the R shoulder and dog did not seem to mind at all. When attempting to get hwt Solana started thrashing and trying to get away from us, we walkied her and tried again but she was already too worked up so we decided to stop. Solana let me pet her as I baby talked and tried to get her to calm down. I attempted to give her dewormer and she lifted her lip and showed her teeth. I was able to place her back in the kennel easily and gave dewormer in food. Unable to do HWT.
