06/21/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Griffin came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. At intake it was reported Griffin was nervous with his head low and tail tucked, he allowed all handling with a slow approach. During SAFER Griffin came into the assessment room loose and wiggly, he was friendly and social but consistently tried to mount the assessor. He allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Griffin joins the game during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Griffin was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Griffin appears to be sociable, and did not display any behaviors concerns, so the department feels he can be suitable for an “Average” adopter. 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. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Or dog indicates play with huffing, soft ‘popping’ of the body, etc. Dog jumps on Assessor once play ends. Squeeze 1&2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog smells, then turns away. Dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs at the Care Center, Griffin greets softly but becomes a little sexually motivated. He does respond immediately to the other dog’s corrections and stops the behavior. He also solicited brief bouncy play with the helper.
