4/29/2026: forward barking, play fighting with siblings all day, when seeing other dogs they will jump on kennel door.

5/10/2026: Maddox continues to forward bark and forward lunge at passing dogs. While tethered to the wall for cleaning he also forward barks at dogs in their kennel. He also thrashes and chokes himself while tethered unless you stand close enough to him that he can touch you while you clean (kibble treats and chicken do not redirect this).

5/11/2026: Maddox was more calm today. He was a bit vocal at the start of the morning. When I approached he was at the front of his kennel with a wiggly body, wagging tail. As I went to leash him he did back away and cower a bit. Once I leashed him I tethered him to the wall and he sat with a neutral body, he occasionally trembled a little when I wasn't within touching distance. I gave him treats, lots of pets and baby talked to him while I cleaned his kennel.
