08/30/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
CANINE BEHAVIOR EVALUATION for EINSTEIN A1122598 KNOWN HISTORY: Full profile Date of intake: 8/19/17 Unaltered male, owner surrender Previously lived with: Unknown Behavior toward strangers: Friendly, outgoing, may play roughly Behavior toward children: Friendly, outgoing, may play roughly Behavior toward dogs: Playful with large dogs and dogs he knows well; barks and growls at small dogs Behavior toward cats: Relaxed Resource guarding: None reported Bite history: Yes. Einstein bit his owner’s partner during an episode of yelling, screaming, and throwing things. Einstein bit the person’s right arm, bite-and-hold, leaving broken skin and punctures and resulting in an emergency room visit. Einstein held on while the person moved around, and after he let go he pinned the person to the wall and barked at him. Housetrained: Yes. Energy level/descriptors: Friendly, affectionate, playful, confident, and excitable, with a very high activity level. Other notes: SAFER ASSESSMENT: 8/30/17 Summary: When Einstein entered the assessment room, he would pace around the room. He was tolerant for limited of time with petting, he did a quick head flip towards the assessor when attempting to pet his body. Einstein was very anxious in the room and tried several times to leave the room (scratching and whining at the door) also, when trying to coax him to get his attention he would ignore the handler and remained fixated with the door. Due to the behavior observed, Einstein is not an appropriate candidate for a SAFER assessment at this time. PLAYGROUP: According to Einstein’s previous owner, Einstein is playful around larger dogs, and barks at smaller ones. Due to Einstein’s DOH status, he was muzzle as a precaution. Once he is let into the pen, he displays a neutral posture when greeting a novel female dog. He oscillates between pawing at the muzzle, and sniffing the female dog. INTAKE BEHAVIOR Date of intake: 8/19/17 At intake, Einstein was friendly towards staff and enjoyed being petted and touched. He allowed collaring, scanning, and photographing without issue.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Date of initial: 8/19/17 During his veterinary exam, Einstein was relaxed and attention-seeking until he was muzzled, at which time he began alligator rolling, growling, and snapping. ENERGY LEVEL: His previous owner reports a high activity level, which matches what we have seen in the care center. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_Place with a New Hope partner: Due to Einstein’s bite history and his discomfort at times around new people, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification and guidance before placement into a new home. We recommend only positive reinforcement, force-free, reward-based training for Einstein as more aversive methods are likely to increase the risk of future aggression. Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Einstein’s bite occurred during a stressful episode, but does show a willingness to escalate to that level of aggression in highly stressful situations. During the bite incident Einstein continued to pursue the victim. _X_Anxiety: Einstein has shown some signs of potential anxiety in the care center, vocalizing (whining, barking) continually through the SAFER. This behavior was not reported at intake, the owner profile does not note anxiety so we cannot be certain whether this behavior will continue in a future home, or whether it is specific to the shelter environment.
