Ability to make up afterward: Yes, with a treat
Willing to be handled or groomed: Yes to Joey, able to brush, hair-trimming, apply ear-drop and front paws nail clipping not the back paws
Willing to be petted by strangers: Yes to ladies with a treat, men is ok sometime with a treat, successful rate varies. Samson did not like the teenage male waiter at the Gallery Grille where we had lunch outdoor on friday.
Love to go for a ride: Yes, but not left alone in the car for more than 15 minutes
Love to go to the beach: Yes, but do not like to be cleaned afterward
Love to get a treat: Yes, almost anytime; recent favourite is Victor's gluten free lightly salted rice cracker
Love to beg at the dinning table: Yes, will use his cute big eyes to look at you while you are eating, with a slight head tilt while sitting quietly and wiggle the tail slowly. If no responses, will do a stand with 2 back legs only and both front paws on your chair, in order to get closer to the food you are eating.
Manner inside the house: Very good, no biting on my expensive shoes, no chewing on window treatment, no investigating garbage bin, no jumping on furniture without permission, no barking all day long, nothing was destroyed in this 10 days period, no jumping on guests arrive at the door, able to go into his crate with supervision.
Manner outside the house: Just OK, likes to pull me with a leash during our walk; over react to other big dogs, have no clue to walk with a leash around big object therefore always tie up something in the way, likes to roll around on dirt or grass therefore require my cleaning service afterward ......etc.
Overall rating: in a scale of 1 - 10, Samson scored 8, still needs training on obedience, response to strangers and other big dogs and learn how to trust again!
