01/25/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Initially, Gotti exhibits nervous body language– raised paw, ducking his head and avoiding the other dog. However, after he acclimates to the shelter he engages in rowdy and rough play with other playful dogs. He can be a little overbearing for dogs that are nervous or calm but does show the ability to control his energy when he meets a small, puppy. Gotti responds well to corrections by other dogs and to interruptions by the handlers. Due to his behavior in playgroup, the Behavior Department recommends that Gotti can go to a home with other playful dogs or a home with dogs that are calm, non-playing dogs if those dogs are also well socialized and a proper introduction is conducted. When off leash with other dogs, Gotti greets with a soft, loose body and a low head. Once the pen is opened he exhibits nervous body language– raised paw, ducking his head and avoiding the other dog. Eventually he does interact with the helper dog and his body loosens up but does not engage in play. 1/27 update: Gotti greets the other dogs with a soft, neutral body. He engages in light bouncy play but appears to be hesitant in his body movements probably from a lack of experience playing. He is tolerant of a pushy female and offers a very subtle, appropriate correction to her. 1/28 update: Gotti greets other dogs with a lot of energy today. He is unaware of his size and becomes pushy and obnoxious with a more fearful dog however he does respond well to human interruptions. He does self-handicap and decrease his energy when engaging with a puppy. 1/31 update: Gotti became overwhelmed today while interacting with a high energy and rowdy player today. He began whining and avoiding her. He also seemed a bit frustrated and became pushy and obnoxious with the next dog he met. 2/02 update: Gotti was extremely hyper-motivated today. He also was having a hard time slowing himself down when he became overwhelming for his play partner but did respond to human interruptions.
