02/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Bear came to us as an owner surrender due to the owner not being able to care for Bear any longer. According to the owner Bear is friendly and outgoing when meeting strangers, and was recorded to be gentle and playful with the owner’s 6 year old granddaughter. Bear does come to us with a previous bite history for biting a child that was running after the owner’s granddaughter. The bite resulted in the child needing to go to the emergency room and required stitches. When attempting to run Bear’s behavior assessment he displayed signs of being conflicted. He would also display some signs of anxiety constantly whimper in the assessor’s presence. Bear also seemed to have hyper sensitivity to touch head flipping toward the assessor multiple time when the assessor to touch him on his back. Due to his uncomfortable body language the assessor did not perform any of the handling items. He only displayed minimal interest in the toy on this portion of the assessment. Based on all known behavior information we believe placement with a rescue is best at this time. When off leash with other dogs, Bear greets with a loose body. He enters the pen with a few bounces and bows however he seems to be to high energy solicitations by the helper dog and offers a few corrections or low grumbly growls to let her know she is being too pushy.
