Summary (1):: Action interacted socially with several female dogs with a soft posture and is tolerant of a variety of dogs with different temperaments. He is sexually motivated, and will engage in cooperative play with the goal to mount. He is easily redirected when handlers interrupt. Action was surrender as a stray so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Action be placed in a home with resident dogs that match his play style and sociability. 1/31: When off leash at the Care Centers, Action greets a female helper dog and becomes slightly sexually motivated- chattering and exploring her genital region. He ignores most of the handlers interruptions, and continues to follow the novel dog, attempting to mount her. He offered a few play bows towards the end of his session. 2/1: Today, Action displayed tremendous tolerance for several high energy playful female dogs. He engages in running chase play, and attempts to mount between breaks. He handle himself well with a hyper-motivated dog, by exploring the pens. 2/2: Action was calm today, and spent most of his session exploring the pens. He joined in brief burst of play, attempting to mount the novel female dog. 2/7: Action returned to group after recovering from surgery and met a social playful puppy. He engaged in high energy running chase play, and is a bit pushy with his constant body contact. 2/8: Action was introduced to a soft male puppy. He appropriately greeted him, then solicited running chase play. When an anxious male was brought into the group, Action became uncomfortable; his body tenses and he growls at him.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
Behavior Asilomar: H – Healthy
Potential challenges: : Strength/leash pulling
Potential challenges comments:: Strength/Leash pulling: Action is a very, strong dog with the capability to pull over an average adopter. His adopter must be prepared and able to handle a dog of this size and strength. It is recommended that he be walked on a front clip harness or head halter, which help diminish his strength through leverage, and that he be trained using positive reinforcement, reward based training to not pull on leash.
