Summary: Yuki was a bit fearful and sensitive to handling during his assessment. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: Summary MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 11/9/2016 Yuki was tense and nervous during her initial medical exam. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience) _X_No young children (under 5): Due to Yuki’s timid and fearful behavior, we feel she may be intimidated by young children. Older, dog savvy children can be considered. Potential challenges: _X_House soiling: Yuki is reported to be urinating on the bed for the last month. We are unclear on what may have triggered this behavior change, and it does not sound as though any modification was attempted. We advise that Yuki will likely need guidance on house training. She will need consistent and frequent walks, rewards for eliminating outside, and careful watching when she is inside. She should never be punished for accidents, as that will set the house training process back.

11/11/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE

11/11: When off leash with other dogs Yuki will occasionally run through the pen but is overwhelmed when play is reciprocated. She will then calmly explore the yard. 11/12: Yuki will run through the pen by herself but does not engage in play. She seeks attention from handlers otherwise.
