At intake it was reported Brooklyn sniffed the counselor with his tail wagging but growled when attempting to collar him, assistance was conducted by the owner. During SAFER Brooklyn came into the assessment room sniffing the ground and was calm, he was a bit social towards the assessor but more fixated with the ground. Not all handling items were able to be conducted as Brooklyn growled with stiff body language at the assessor on the tag item. He displayed minimal interest in the toy resource item during this portion of the assessment. In light of this behavior we feel that placement with a New Hope Partner who can provide positive reinforcement-based behavior modification is the best option at this time. 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, and his tail is between his legs, body a bit tense with his mouth closed. Tag: 5. Dog growls at the assessor with stiff body posture.
