Description
DOB's Galatic Nova going through Mondial-Kennel-Club 's Puppy Behavior Program (PBP)



Test 1: Interaction with Food 
A puppy will be given a bowl of puppy chow. There will be a false hand used to touch the puppy and the bowl. If the puppy does not attack or show aggression or better yet leaves the bowl than it will pass and given back the bowl to finish. Full body with a basic one color background and there is no requirement for writing. 


[ Nova reacted well to the false hand. She did not growl or try to attack, but instead waited patiently for the hand to give her a scratch behind the ear. Unfortunately, that was beyond the plastic hand's capabilities. ]


Test 2: Interaction with Toy/Bone 
A puppy will be given a puppy safe bone or toy and will be allowed to play with it for a small amount of time. When the owner tries to remove it the puppy cannot attack or show aggression. Playful growling is perfectly acceptable for a tug of war toy but not a bone. Full body with a basic one color background and there is no requirement for writing. 


[ For the next test, a rubber bone was given to Nova. She wrestled with the toy before having it abruptly taken away from her by her handler. She stood stock still in the same awkward pose with her rump up in the air, watching her handler with confusion. The judges found this hilarious, and Nova passed with flying colors. ]



Test 3: Interaction with an Elderly Person and Young Child 
A elderly and very young child will be introduced to the dog. The puppy must not jump but may be happy and excitable. Jumping however will result in a fail as will aggression. Full body with a basic one color background and there is no requirement for writing. 


[ Finally, Nova was approved for her last test. A 2-year old toddler and an elderly Nigerian woman were allowed to play with Nova for a short amount of time. The borzoi was indifferent to the toddler, but absolutely loved the elderly woman. She would happily play fetch with both subjects and was not overly rambucious. ]

My girl is growing up <3 I wanted to put her in some kind of puppy program before entering her in any adult sports. This also serves as a time-lapse from a 3 months old puppy to a 2 year old! 


//On another note, my tablet is on its last legs. So if some of my lines look a little wonky, just know that I am being forced to use a track pad for the time being cx
