Pet met another dog in the office on 9/6. He was friendly, social, and playful. However, he could be a bit obnoxious with the way he played and he did not respect boundaries, often ignoring appropriate corrections offered by the other dogs. Eventually he had to be separated from the other dog because he was pushing her into a corner and not respecting her cues to back off. 

Attempted to bring Olaf out for a small playgroup on 9/8/22. As soon as I walked up to the kennel he started to muzzle punch the bars. I did not feel comfortable getting this out at this time.
