11/08/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Minimal Unaltered, Seized Other notes: King came into the care center on a bite quarantine, having bitten her owner on both arms. Details about the bite are extremely limited; we are not certain whether King had bitten previously, we are unaware of the context of the bite, and are unaware of the injury inflicted. SAFER ASSESSMENT: 11/2/16: The Enrichment Team has been working with King daily during his hold, and he has allowed some handling, but he remains tense. We believe that attempting the SAFER handling items with a stranger is likely to push King over threshold, so at this time we do not consider him a good candidate for a SAFER assessment. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: 11/1: Due to King’s DOH hold, a muzzle was required to be placed on him. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, King displays loose and wiggly body language when greeting a novel female dog. He is social and solicits gentle play but becomes too preoccupied with attempting to remove the muzzle. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 10/26/16: During his initial medical examination, King was enthusiastic and excitable, showing a low threshold for arousal, but he allowed all handling and restraint without issue. ENERGY LEVEL: IN-SHELTER OBSERVATIONS: King has interacted with multiple members of the Enrichment Team. He allows most handling and has sometimes solicited attention, but he also shows a consistently low threshold for arousal and rapid escalation. He can be unfocused when interacting but is able to be directed with treats and clicker training. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13): Due to King’s bite history and his low threshold for arousal _X_Place with a New Hope partner Potential challenges: _X_Mouthiness/Poor bite inhibition: King was reported to have bitten his previous owner on the arms or hands, possibly while playing. We cannot be certain whether this was the motivation, but King has shown a consistently low threshold for arousal and rapid escalation. We recommend force-free training and behavior modification to work on this behavioral arousal and prevent future bites. _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: While King has made progress with his daily caretakers, he remains tense around most people and even his daily caretakers are not entirely comfortable performing all handling items.
