During his handling assessment, he showed a neutral posture and soft eyes but remained tense and hesitant, needing gentle coaxing before slowly approaching his handler.

Valentino bypassed the dogs and went under the bench in the play yard. He remained there for some time and would flash teeth if approached by the playful dogs. Valentino and another timid dog spent time together in the corner of the play yard. After some time, Valentino started to slowly explore the yard and interact with other calm dogs. He appeared timid and would scurry back to the corner if overwhelmed. Valentino was tolerant of other calm/timid dogs and appeared more at ease near the end of the play session. Valentino could benefit from continued socialization, confidence building, and leash training (Valentino appears to not be leash trained) Downey Animal Care Center 11258 Garfield Avenue Downey, CA 90242 (562) 940-6898
