Exam Type BEHAVIOR
3/8 SAFER: Chief came to us as an owner surrender due to the owner’s siblings suffering from allergies and asthma. According to the owner Chief may growl when meeting certain strangers and sometimes smaller dogs, but has lived with children ages 2-15. Around the children Chief is described as being somewhat rough with the children and the owner suggests children over 10 years of age. The owner also stated that Chief will sometimes bite the leash and growl when being walked. Chief pulls strongly on the leash when being walked but had soft body language during his relief walk. He had loose body language when entering the behavior room and was interested in interacting with the assessor. During the assessment Chief had some tense body language during some portions of the assessment. Chief bit the rope very strongly and began to growl during the tag interaction. Chief took the toy away from the assessor with stiff body language. He seemed to realize that the assess-a-hand was they assessor’s and did not mind it. When the toy was picked up with the assessor’s real hand Chief growled, raised his lip and lunged toward the assessor. Due all known behavior information the behavior department believes that Chief will be best placed with a NH partner at this time. Look: 2. Dog holds gaze with slightly tense body language. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is between his legs, body tense, mouth closed, lip long, ears back, lip lick. Tag: 5. Dog immediately grabs the leash strongly with stiff body language and begins to growl. Toy 1: 4. Dog growls, lip curls and lunges when the assessor attempts to pick up the toy.. When off leash with other dogs, Chief approaches somewhat nervous with a low head and slightly tucked tail but soft body.
