04/19/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Helper: 1067889 Blaze came to us by way of the NYPD after he escaped from a kennel in the home that he was kept in and bit the owner and the owner’s daughter. According to the officer bringing in Blaze, Blaze escaped the kennel in which he was housed and immediately went to attack the owner’s daughter. Blaze bit the daughter on her right leg and foot, and her left index finger. In an attempt to free the daughter from Blaze the owner was bitten on the left calf by Blaze. Both the daughter and mother went to the hospital after this incident. Unfortunately, we don’t have information of Blaze’s behavior inside the home besides this reported incident so we can only observe behavior while in the shelter environment. Since Blaze has been in our shelter Blaze has showed some concerning behavior while in the kennel. Initially when approaching Blaze’s kennel he would have whale eye and growl when approached, and bare his teeth on occasion. On subsequent days Blaze did display better behaviors when being taken out of his kennel by handlers. Most handlers were unable to pet Blaze as he would become tense and stiff when attempting to do so. As the assessor approached Blaze’s kennel he came to the front with soft body language. He allowed the assessor to place a slip lead on him and take him out for a walk. Blaze pulled very strongly while on leash, and when outside would look at the assessor with whale eye and slightly tense body language. Once inside the SAFER room the assessor attempted to pet Blaze on his back, but Blaze turned very quickly toward the touch very stiff body language and a hard stare. Due to this response, Blaze’s bite history, safety concerns and overall behavior information the handling items were not conducted. Blaze only displayed minimal interest in the toy item. When on an on-leash dog interaction Blaze rushed in quickly with stiff body language, and was a bit hard to get him to un-focus on the other dog. We recommend Blaze go to a New Hope partner that can provide him with the behavior modification necessary before placement into a stable environment. Toy: 1. Minimal interest. Dog smells, licks and mouths, then turns away. Dog-dog: 3. Dog approaches the helper dog by rushing in with his tail high, stiff body, head tall, and ears erect.
