Begins to rapid breathe and body tenses with continued petting as he shifts his weight. Needs more time to adjust. 12/26/17 Crouched in litter box, ears forward and tail wrapped around body. He tilts his head as I reach towards him and leans in for petting, standing up abruptly and raising his tail as my hand passes along his back. He drops back down into a crouched position and stands up with tail raised half way each time my hand passes along his back. He comes forward with a low body for treats and leans in for more petting. Focused on environment –pauses occasionally to look around the room. Showing improvement – sweet boy. Did well today! 12/27/17 Crouched in the back of the kennel with his ears tilted forward, and tail wrapped at his side. Timid initially, but starts to warm up with attention.

He tilts his head towards me as I reach forward and leans in for petting abruptly, raising his rear and tail as my hand passes along his back.
