BEHAVIOR:  4/27/16 SAFER: Average

Jack came to us as a stray; so we have no behavior information other than what has been observed while in the shelter environment. Jack was a bit shy and nervous when entering the behavior room. He was more interested in exploring his surroundings than interacting with the assessor. He allowed the assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items without any problems. Though Jack was bit fearful during some of the items he maintained his composure and did not escalate to more concerning behaviors. During the tag interaction Jack did not engage in play with the assessor, and was more interested in the behavior room. Jack displayed no interest in toy item on this portion of the assessment. We believe that Jack can go to an adopter with an average amount of dog experience. Jack should be approached slowly as he tends to be nervous when first interacting with someone.

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 stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is closed for a portion of the assessment item.

Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (needs coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor.

Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are back.

Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed or bck.

Toy 1: No interest.

When off leash with other dogs, Jack approaches and greets other dogs appropriately but does not solicit or engage in play. He spends most of the time exploring the yard.

Update 4/27: Jack displayed the same appropriate behavior.

Jack came in as a stray so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown. When off leash here at the Care Center, Jack approaches and greets other dogs appropriately but does not solicit or engage in play. He spends most of the time exploring the yard.

Update 4/27- 5/1: Jack displayed the same appropriate behavior.
