A volunteer writes: I love the seniors. Their quiet dignity, the graying muzzle, the easy play and soft cuddles. Brody is a stunning example of an older dog…he’s been fabulously taken care of right down to his clean cropped ears, his caramel coat is soft and groomed, and his weight perfect for his size. He peed forever as soon as we were out the door so likely enjoys good housekeeping skills, he knows ‘sit’ and ‘shake paw’ and was rewarded with treats which he takes gently. Brody and I (well, Brody actually) got so many compliments as we walked through the park, and when Brody posed for pictures we drew a small crowd. In the yard he chased a tennis ball, and brought it back for another throw. He’s snuggly, paws in my lap for some hugs, has a magnificent prance as he circles the pen and has opinions, giving me a quick woof if I wasn’t fast enough with the ball. I adore this dog and can’t wait to see his tail wag as he walks out the door with his new person…..don’t pass up the chance to meet him today!
BEHAVIOR:
Brody pulls hard on leash. He was not sociable, and was more interested in the surroundings than the handler during the assessment. He was calm and relaxed during handling. Brody followed the assessor at the end of the leash with a soft and relaxed body language while he was whining. He was not interested in toys
Brody was whining during the assessment he can be whine because he’s anxious. Brody was pacing fast, with an uncertain body language – ears and tail down, constant looking around. The behavior department feels that he can go to an Average home who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment.
Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions.
Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item.
Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, ears back, mouth open.
Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw.
Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw.
Toy: 1. No interest.
When off leash with other dogs, Brody displays sexually motivated. He intently sniffs the rear end of the female greeter, whining, saivating, and then persistantly attempts to mount her. The female greeter dog did not offer correction, and he was difficult to slow down, though eventually did with handler interruption.
