05/09/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Bear came into our center due to conflict with his littermate that live in the same building, barking and lunging towards one another. Bear bit owner on the back of the leg after owner pulled him back from barking erratically at littermate. It is reported Bear lived with and loved the resident 10 year old child, may sometimes play too rough inadvertently due to his size. It is also reported Bear lived with a rabbit and pet rat, fine with both. Behavior around cats is unknown. Owner states Bear is not bothered if anyone touches his Food, Toys, Treats. He is described as friendly, affectionate, playful, excitable. During intake, Bear barked and lunged at staff, owner had to collar and place in kennel. When Bear saw another dog on the way, he barked and lunged at owner. Bear was difficult to position for Look item, but once positioned he allowed his head to be cupped, eyes averted. He stood still and accepted the touch, yawning, body relaxed. Bear followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, a bit distracted. He did not pull his paw back on first Squeeze attempt, gently pulled back on second. Bear showed quick brief interest in Toy, but lost interest shortly after. This may be due to environment as owner reports he loves to play with his toys, loves fetch and tug. Dog to Dog item was skipped due to history of barking and lunging at dogs along with redirecting onto handler. The Behavior Team feels Bear would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have young children. He would benefit from being the only resident dog and limit walks around areas that have other dogs present, preferably a private yard. 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: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, yawning Tag: 2. Dog follows at the end of the leash, a bit distracted, focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1.

05/11/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Bear is muzzled for his off-leash interaction based on history of incident involving other dogs. Bear greets the female helper with a soft body. He offers butt bumps and muzzle nudges in attempts to solicit. However, due to past incident involving Bear and other dogs in his home, the behavior department feels that Bear would be most comfortable as the only resident dog in a home at this time.
