Summary: PLAYGROUP: When off leash at the Care Center, Chico is sexually motivated, ignoring the novel female dog’s body language. He is tense around the male greeter, and repeatedly muzzle punches him. According to Chico’s previous owner, Chico did not socialize with other dogs. The Behavior Department recommends that Chico be placed with female dogs that are tolerant of his sexually motivated behavior. INTAKE BEHAVIOR 9/18/17 Chico was very social during intake.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 9/18/17 Durin the initial examination Chico was friendly and loose body language, allows exam/treatment with minimal restraint. IN SHELTER BEHAVIOR: During a session of Playgroup, Chico was displaying inappropriate behavior with another male dog. Both handlers in the pens began to use a variety of tools, in an attempt to interrupt him. When an air corrector was blown, while in close proximity of him, Chico directed a low growl towards the handler. The dogs were separated, and Chico immediately displayed a soft body, allowing all handling.

ENERGY LEVEL: The owner reports Chico has a high energy, and is anxious, but friendly. In the care center Chico has been active and enthusiastic. He may have a low threshold for arousal and needs guidance to learn how to appropriately channel that energy when he becomes overstimulated. Chico will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the (behaviors outlined below). _X_No young children (under 5)-Due to Chico’s response to some of the SAFER handling items seen in the care center, we feel that young children may not know to respect this warning. Older, dog savvy children can be considered pending interaction.
