03/03/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Hustle came to us as an owner surrender due to Hustle biting one of the owner’s while the owner was having a seizure. According to the owner Hustle is friendly and outgoing when meeting strangers, like to play with other dogs, but plays with them roughly. It was reported that Hustle will growl if someone attempts to take his bone away. The owner stated that Hustle becomes frightful when the owner has seizures and has bit in the past during these episodes. Hustle was very nervous when entering the behavior room and had slightly tense body language. He approached the assessor with stiff body language. When trying to interact with Hustle before placing on the collar Hustle would jump away from the assessor in fear and have stiff body language. He constantly flinched with fast movements and would have a crouched body position. After a few minutes Hustle seemed to warm up a bit to the assessor, but then sat between the assessor’s legs looked up at the assessor and froze. For this reason, the handling portions of the assessment were skipped. Hustle took the toy item away with soft body language, and rushed in towards the helper dog with tense body language. We recommend placement with a NH partner at this time. Toy 1: 2. Dog takes toy away, keeps a firm hold. His body is between you and the toy, and he is loose and wiggly. No growling or stiffness. Dog-dog: 3. Dog approaches the helper dog by rushing in with his tail high, tense body, head tall, and ears erect.
