Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None Date of intake 9/3/2017 Neutered Male, stray Bite history: Coffee was found tied to a tree and when approached by a park employee he bit the person on the upper thigh. No additional details about the situation, bite, or injury are available. SAFER ASSESSMENT: Date of assessment 9/13/2017 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: 1.

Summary: Coffee displayed no behavior concerns during his handling assessment. INTAKE BEHAVIOR Date of intake 9/3/2017 Upon intake, Coffee was relaxed but observant in the crate. With a slow approach he allowed leashing but tensed and lip licked when his collar was reached for. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Date of initial 9/3/2017 During his initial medical exam, Coffee allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on coffee so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, Coffee displays a high level of energy and will benefit from daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend daily walks, runs, exercise, and play. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13): Due to bite history _X_Place with a New Hope partner

Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control- Coffee would jump up at times, to get into a toy bin and take out toys. It is recommended that default behaviors such as sit/stay, leave it, and down are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended. _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression- Coffee has established a willingness to escalate to a bite when placed into especially fearful/stressful situations. We recommend only force-free, reward-based training for Coffee as more aversive methods are likely to increase fear and increase the risk of potential aggression.
