Group Behavior::
Benben’s previous owner reported that he was an outside dog and when exposed to other dogs he may bark at some, and be friendly with others. When off leash at the Care Center, Benben readily greets female and neutered male dogs. He persistently attempts to mount both male and female dogs and does not respond to handler interruptions. The Behavior Department recommends that Benben be the only dog in the home although a dog-dog interaction can be conducted to assess any potential adopter dog’s comfort level with this mounting behavior.

10/3: Benben approaches the female helper dog intensely and immediately becomes sexually motivated, licking her genital area and attempting to mount her. He does not really respond to being interrupted by the handlers and persists with his behavior.

10/5: Benben displays soft and excited body language -pawing through the gate- when meeting a neutered male dog. He displays bouncy body language as he attempts to mount the male. He follows the other male dog around the pen while mounting, muzzle punching and softly biting his neck. He persists after handler interruptions.
