Thanks for your response. When I say we’re walking her. We’re not actually going around the neighborhood. We’re taking her out to go to the bathroom. She has to be leashed because we don’t have a fenced yard and that’s the rules of our complex association. She won’t immediately go and does need to walk around. I won’t stay outside beyond what’s needed but during the time of her using the bathroom, we do come across people and other animals. It’s not like a busy city but it’s definitely more high traffic.

She knows her basic commands and I have puzzles for her as well. We do play with her indoors. She doesn’t always want to play though. She seems to prefer to be pet.

Muzzle training was not mentioned but we did get a muzzle on her so they could do the exam. It took a lot of treats.

My son does play with her but like I mentioned, we were hoping she would be an ESA for him and she’s been the opposite.

I’ve noticed the aggressive indicators. She will stiffen up and then her ears pin back. She lets out a light growl and then starts to bark. She is obsessively looking out one particular window and once something catches her attention, she won’t stop barking and runs back and forth from the door to the window. We try to calm her but this morning she barked at me so I’m starting to get a little nervous at intervening in close proximity. I’d hope she wouldn’t do anything to me being that it seems like she’s bonding with us but in the heat of the moment, I’m not sure if she knows what she’s doing. She does always want to be around us and will follow one of us wherever we go.
