08/30/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Apple came into our center after a member of the public found him as a stray so behaviors in the home are unknown. At first attempt to bring Apple into the SAFER assessment area, he was focusing on the rope/leash and grabbing/tugging, difficult to redirect, and also attempting to mount handler. After a second attempt Apple calmed down and was no longer exhibiting either of these behaviors. He allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, relaxed. Apple stood still during Sensitivity item, body soft. He was distracted and unresponsive during Tag game. Apple did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts. He took Toy away, body not stiff. Apple approached the helper dog at an appropriate pace, tail at spine level, body soft. The Behavior Team feels Apple would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have young children. Any dog savvy older children should have an in-depth interaction before considering adoption. He would benefit from obedience classes to learn leash manners as well as not to mount. We recommend Apple would do best being walked by adults only and using a chain-link leash with harness. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor Squeeze 1 / 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are back. Toy 1: 2. Dog takes toy away, body not stiff Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body not stiff, ears relaxed
