During the public programs, the pups are brought into the auditorium for about 15 minutes of activity. Bolts had a bit of a negative conditioning experience with a television camera that had a large lens. He saw it when he came through the door and was startled. For the next few days, he didn't want to come through the door. Staff and Pup Care Participants keep a close watch on the interactions between Peanut and Bolts to ensure that their play activity doesn't get too physical. Peanut is usually the most dominant, doing stand over's and scruff grabbing Bolts. By protecting Peanut, we definitely give her an advantage, and she often responds with more dominance and head shaking behavior. Bolts really has a full run when he goes outside, greeting Oscar first, then running with tail wagging to Aidan and Denali.
