PLAYGROUP: According to Andy’s previous guardian, Andy has lived with one other female 14 year old mini Pincher and is usually relaxed and affectionate, and both dogs normally sleep together. Andy has bitten the Mini pincher recently has left several wounds on the dog but released the immediately when told. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Andy displays soft body language when greeting calm male and female dogs. She sniffs them briefly before keeping to herself as she explores. Due to Andy’s recent incident with a smaller dog, the Behavior Department recommends that Andy be placed with larger dogs that match her calm sociability. All introductions should be conducted slowly and be under supervision. Andy should never be crated with another dog. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Date of Initial : 5/14/17 During her medical examination, Andy allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: Andy’s previous owner describes a medium activity level. Andy will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No small dogs/Recommend no dog parks: Due to Andy’s previous incident with a small dog in the home we recommend that Andy not be taken to dog parks or placed with small dogs. _X_Place with a New Hope partner: While social and interactive with her human caretakers, due to Andy’s bite history and concerns about his behavior around other dogs, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner at this time. Potential challenges: _X_House soiling: Andy is reported to be partially housetrained but to have accidents at times. He will need guidance and consistency to learn to eliminate outside solely. We recommend crate training (the crate must be made positive and never used as a punishment), frequent walks, rewards for eliminating outside (treats, toys, games), consistent feeding schedule, and careful monitoring when inside. Accidents should never be punished as it can damage the human-dog relationship and is likely to make the problem worse.
