When off leash at the Care Center, Jessie interacts with a novice male, displaying an assertive posture. She begins to offer chin overs and attempts to mount. After handlers interrupt, Jessie keeps to herself and explored her surroundings. She joins in brief chase play, with a stiff body, when the other dog begins to run around. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 01/04/17 During her medical examination, Jessie was friendly and allowed all handling. IN SHELTER BEHAVIOR: 1/22/17 Jessie has been displaying highly aroused behavior while on leash. She is jumping up and grabbing/climbing the leash and has required the assistance of a second handler to be controlled and returned to her kennel. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (Suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience) Potential challenges: __Leash-biting (When Jessie becomes aroused at the Care Center, she has begun biting at her leash, climbing up it, pulling and tugging. It has become difficult to de-escalate her and this behavior poses a handling challenge for staff and volunteers. This behavior may be due to the stressors of the care center environment but may appear in her new home. We recommend that a new adopter seek the professional advice of a certified trainer or behaviorist who adheres to aversive free techniques to manage Jessie’s arousal levels.)

01/03/2017 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Jessie was brought to the Care Center as a stray, so her previous behavior towards dogs is unknown. When off leash at the Care Center, Jessie displays assertive posturing with both male and female dogs. She stands tall and attempts to mount, but responds well to handler interruptions and explores the pen. The Behavior Department believes that Jessie would be most comfortable as the only dog in the home, however she may be placed in a home with other dogs, pending the recommendation that all initial interactions between dogs been done slowly and supervised. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to counter-condition and desensitize Jessie to help her associate other dogs with positive experiences, such as toys or treats. 1/03: Jessie interacts with a novel male, displaying an assertive posture. She begins to offer chin overs and attempts to mount. After handlers interrupt, Jessie keeps to herself and explored her surroundings. She joins in brief chase play, with a stiff body, when the other dog begins to run around. 1/05: Jessie continues to display an assertive posture when interacting with a calm male. Her body becomes stiff when she exchanges sniff, but she immediately shake off when handlers interrupt. Afterwards she explores her surroundings. 1/07: Jessie greets a calm female. She initially stands tall, but listens well to handlers interruption and wanders and explores the pens. 1/11: Jessie enters the pen with a tall posture and stand side by side with another female.
