Einstein
Hello, my name is Einstein . My animal id is #15866. I am a male tan dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 11-Dec-2017.
Einstein is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs. Einstein is suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: It doesn’t take a genius to see how Einstein got his name! He’s smart! He learned quickly how to get me to give him about half my bag of treats (sit, smile, get a treat and repeat!), he seems housetrained and though at times he can be pully, walks nicely on the leash. Einstein loves to play with toys, and given his higher energy, needs a future home that can provide lots of exercise and walks! At times, Einstein can be a bit mouthy, but given his high intelligence, he should be able to be taught more appropriate behaviors in no time! While E=MC SQUARED, YOU + Einstein will definitely equal love! Ask to meet him today!

Look:: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions.

Summary:: Einstein was friendly during the handling assessment. He engaged in some play, and was a bit mouthy. Einstein was relaxed with a soft posture.
Summary (1):: Einstein is playful around other dogs, but he can be pushy with his solicitation. When the other dogs ignore his solicitation for a long period of time, he becomes frustrated and begins to offer deep barks. Einstein was surrender as a stray so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommend that Einstein be placed in a home with resident dogs that match his play style and are well socialized. 12/12: When off leash at the Care Center, Einstein greets with a low, loose and wiggly body. He exchanges greets with the female helper, then continues his session exploring the yard. When he checks in with the greeter, he solicits gentle play with quick play bows. 12/13-14: Einstein attempts to engage in running chase, repeatedly soliciting with barks and play bows, ignoring the other dog’s uncomfortability. He becomes frustrated when his solicitation are ignore-offering deep barks. 12/15: Today Einstein was introduced to a playful intact male dog. He initially displays a tall posture with a vertical tail. After exchanges rear sniffs, he soften a bit and followed the other dog before exploring on his own. Towards the end of his session, he engages bouncy stop/starts and running chase play with the greeter.
Date of intake:: 12/11/2017
Date of initial:: 12/11/2017
Summary:: Allows all handling, nervous, and trembling.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Potential challenges: : Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition
Potential challenges comments:: Einstein has shown some mouthiness in the care center. Little pressure is applied, but this is a behavior that should be extinguished through training alternate behaviors and lack of reward (ex. walking away whenever Einstein’s teeth make contact with skin).
