05/10/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Arkidius was difficult to remove from his kennel showing teeth, growling. Once he was removed from his kennel he pulls hard on the leash Arkidius was uncomfortable with handling; he stands tall, and tries to look large. He wrinkles his muzzle while growling. The behavior team decided to skip the handling part of the assessment for safety reasons. During the resources Arkidius was not interested in toys. He does not approach other dog, attempts to exit. Arkidius was surrender to us. According to his previous owner Arkidius is described as friendly, playful and protective. He shared a home with at least three dogs from his litter. He lived with adults and a 2 year old child. Arkidius would allow the child to pet him, tug on him, rub his belly and put his hands in his mouth. Arkidius owner stated that he likes to play nip but has never bit anyone. Arkidius is the less dominant dog in the home and very playful with the other dogs in the home. His owner stated that he will allow his owner to touch him, approach him and remove food from his mouth. Arkidius knows the commands numerically, 1-sit, 2-five, 3-jump, 4-lay down, 5-warning and 6-attack. Arkidius enjoys chewing on his toys, normally baseball bats and playing tag”. The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home. Toy 1: No interest. Dog-dog: 2. Dog does not approach the helper dog. Turns body to side in relation to other dog, or exits. Helper: A1072511
