Dog seems tense

A volunteer writes: Dogs don’t come any cuter than sassy oreo cookie Hannah! She’s very friendly and makes for a fun date, wrassling with her toy (or the leash), exploring the outside world with a discerning nose and sitting politely on command before grabbing her reward treats with tail-wagging gusto. Much as she likes her human friends, Hannah is no fan of other pups so she’s looking for a home where she can rule as the one and only Queen of the Castle. Looking for a pro athlete and a supermodel rolled into one petite pittie package? Then you’ve come to the right dog! Hannah is ready to shine shine shine and she’d love to share her spotlight with you…

09/20/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None Date of intake 9/18/2017 Unaltered female, stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: Date of assessment 9/20/2017 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, her tail is between her legs, body neutral, lip lick Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, she is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor, body remains soft. At times may playfully vocalize, which could possibly be misinterpreted as a growl. Squeeze 1: 2. Dog does not pull back paw. Toy 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip, body neutral. Summary: Hannah displayed no behavior concern during her handling assessment. PLAYGROUP: When introduced off leash to the male greeter dog, Hannah displays a tense body, high tail, and erect ears. She follows with raised hackles and hard stare, while attempting to corner and T the shoulders of the greeter. She becomes increasingly difficult to slow down, and freezes while preparing to lunge toward the male greeter dog. Handlers are able to move the male greeter dog out of the yard and the interaction is ended. Based on these observed behaviors, the behavior department advises strongly against placing Hannah into an environment with other dogs. INTAKE BEHAVIOR Date of intake 9/18/2017 Upon intake, Hannah was tense MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Date of initial 9/18/2017 During her initial medical exam, Hannah was tense. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Hannah so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center, Hannah displays a medium level of energy. She will benefit from daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially in the behaviors outlined below) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression – Hannah has improved since first arriving at the care center, initially very tense. We recommend a slow approach, and initially going home to a calm, quiet, structured environment so Hannah can relax and know what to expect. She should be spoken to softly and gently. _X_Single dog home/no dog parks: Hannah has displayed concerning behavior during introduction to other dogs. See PLAYGROUP.
