05/17/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: “A-B-C. Easy as 1-2-3.” Doesn’t get much simpler than that to fall in love with Jackson. This 1 year-old brindled ball of fun is more refreshing than a tall glass of mint lemonade on a sweltering summer’s day. “Shake your body!” That’s just what you’ll be doing when you and Jackson find a fresh and wide patch of grass and he shows off his killer moves. Run, jump, zoom, zoom, and HUG! Jackson will keep you dancing on your twinkle toes until the sun rises and falls again. “Who’s Lovin You?” Why, it’s this guy! And how lucky you are to have the unbridled (not un-brindled) affection of such a devastatingly handsome boy. Jackson may love treats and he may love to boogie but he loves you most of all. “I want you back.” That’s just what you’ll say the moment he leaves your side already falling into deep withdrawal from those delicious ears and infectious smile. “Never can say goodbye?” How lucky then that you’ll never want to. Jackson is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan ACC.
05/17/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 5/16/17 Unaltered Male, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 5/17/17 Look: 1. Dog jumps up to lick the Assessor’s face with tail wagging, ears back and eyes averted. Sensitivity:1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 3. Dog jumps on, mouths, and mounts the assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. Toy: 1. Minimal interest, dog sniffs toy. Summary: Jackson displayed a high level of activity and movement on the assessment. He became over aroused during tag, jumping up on, mouthing, and mounting the assessor. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: Jackson engages in soft, gentle play with dogs in the care center. The behavior department feels Jackson may be most compatible with other social or playful dogs. Introductions to resident dogs should always be supervised, and conducted at a slow pace. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/16/17 During his initial medical exam, Jackson allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Jackson so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center he has been active and enthusiastic. He may have a low threshold for arousal and needs guidance to learn how to appropriately channel that energy when he becomes overstimulated. He will need daily mental and physical stimulation and exercise, and a force-free, positive reinforcement-based training class may help him to learn impulse control and to train desirable behaviors that can be rewarded.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_No young children (under 5): Due to his low threshold for arousal, we recommend a home without young children at this time. Older children who are comfortable around large, jumpy dogs can be considered with an in depth interaction prior to adoption. Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control: Jackson jumped up repeatedly during his assessment. It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended. _X_Social hyper-arousal: Jackson has displayed low threshold for arousal, mouthing and mounting when he becomes excited. Positive reinforcement, reward based training should be used, rewarding Jackson with treats when he is calm in the presence of activity, and walking away from him whenever he displays this behavior. _X_Mouthiness/Poor bite inhibition: Jackson has shown some mouthiness in the care center. Little pressure is applied, but this is a behavior that should be extinguished through training alternate behaviors and lack of reward (ex. walking away whenever Jackson’s teeth make contact with skin).
