For a New Family to Know

Owner described Ariana as friendly affectionate and excitable. She likes to play with balls, stuffed and chew toys. When at home she will follow her owner around. She has been kept mostly indoors and eats dry food. Ariana is house trained and will use the bathroom on the grass or cement. When left alone she is well behaved. She has never been left in the yard so it is unknown how she will react. She has been crated before and does well for up to 6-8 hours. She is used to brisk walks on the leash. When off the leash she will stay by your side.

Behavior Notes:

During intake Ariana was jumping on the counselor and trying to mouth her hand. When putting the leash on Ariana she became exuberant and was bitting the rope. She was redirected by the counselor with a chew bone.

Summary:  Ariana came into the assessment room playful and energetic, she was playful and friendly towards the handlers.

PLAY GROUP:  Ariana was brought in as a stray so her behavior around other dogs is unknown.
10/8: When off leash at the Care Center, Ariana greets a group of small male and female dogs with a soft body. She explores her surroundings, checking in with the other dogs occasionally but mostly keeps to herself.
10/19: Ariana interacted with adult male and female dogs today. She was a little overwhelmed but managed herself by moving away. She displayed appropriate corrections when dogs attempted chin-overs.
10/19-23: Ariana continued to be social with smaller dogs- reciprocating running chase play. She is comfortable around a larger dog- soliciting play. She corrects him when he paw slaps her multiple times.

Date of intake:  6-Oct-2017

Date of initial:  8-Oct-2017

Summary:  Friendly, energetic and allows all handling.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:  EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)

Recommendations:  No young children (under 5)

Potential challenges:  Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition

Potential challenges comments: Ariana has shown some mouthiness in the home/care center. Moderate pressure is applied, and this is a behavior that should be extinguished through training, alternate behaviors, and lack of reward. (ex. walking away whenever Ariana’s teeth make contact with skin). We recommend never playing with bare hands-always with a toy. Ariana should be rewarded with attention and treats when she stops and/or when she is seeking attention in alternate ways.
