05/06/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Helper dog: A1072380 Jabba came in as stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. At intake it was reported Jabba was nervous but did allow all handling. During SAFER Jabba came into the assessment room nervous and a bit fearful, he was friendly and social towards the assessor with a slow approach. He allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Jabba was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Jabba was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Jabba has been showing fearful behavior and avoids interaction in the care center. We cannot be certain if behavior may be suppressed as a result of the shelter environment. Please note that behavior may change when Jabba is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. In addition, we recommend that introductions are done slowly, and Jabba be given the opportunity to interact at their own pace. The behavior department feels he can be suitable for an experience adopter. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is fearful, trembles and his tail is low and not moving. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is between his legs, body a bit tense, mouth closed. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1: 3.
