For a New Family to Know

Aries is described as friendly, playful and excitable. He has a high activity level and likes to play with all types of toys. In the home, he was the type to follow the owner around from room to room. Aries was kept mostly indoors and is partially house trained. He would have accidents several times a week where he would urinate and defecate in the home. When left alone in the home, Aries was well behaved. He knows the cues come and stay. For exercise, Aries was taken on slow and brisk walks on the leash. When on the leash, Aries pulls very hard. Owner was able to walk Aries off leash and stated Aries would wander around at first but then come back when his name was called.

My medical notes are…

 

Details on my behavior are…

Date of assessment: 30-Nov-2017
Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. Allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds.

Summary: Aries displayed no behavior concerns during his handling assessment, consistently soft and wiggly, social and interactive.
Date of intake: 28-Nov-2017

Date of initial: 28-Nov-2017
Summary: During his initial medical exam, Aries was social and allowed all handling.
ENERGY LEVEL: His owner describes Aries as having a high level of energy which matches what we have seen in the care center. Aries is a young, social, enthusiastic dog who will benefit from daily mental and physical activity such as toys and long lasting chews like kongs and nylabones.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
Potential challenges: House soiling
Potential challenges comments: It is reported Aries may have occasional accidents in the home. He may benefit from crate training, a regular feeding and walking schedule, and praise/petting/treats whenever he appropriately eliminates outside. Accidents should never be punished as that may decrease the human-animal bond and potentially make the problem worse. We only recommend positive, reward based training.
