07/01/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
7/1 update: Fetty has shown concerning reactivity when being walked near or past other dogs. He pulls hard to get toward them, hackles raised and vocalizing; he is unable to be distracted but will refocus on the handler once the dog is out of sight. He has also become increasingly more sexually motivated when off leash with other dogs and is unable to be distracted, typically resulting in his removal from the yard. The behavior department feels that he can go to an experienced home that will follow up on these behaviors with other dogs. We also recommend a home without young children; older children can be considered pending interaction. 6/30 SAFER: Fetty pulls hard on the leash. He was excited but very interested in interacting with handler during assessment – jumped up, mouthy (moderate). He was excited during some of the handling items, but had soft body language. Fetty was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test but he became mouthy at the end of the game (moderate). He took the toy with a soft body language.
