During SAFER Layla came into the assessment room tense and fearful, she was not interested with the assessor. Not all handling items were able to be conducted as Layla attempts to bite at the assessor when approaching her. She displayed no interest in the toy resource item during this portion of the assessment. When on leash for a dog interaction with another dog on leash Layla approaches the helper dog with her tail at spine and her body soft. In light of this behavior we feel that placement with a rescue who can provide positive reinforcement-based behavior modification is the best option at this time. Toy: 1. No interest. Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body soft, ears relaxed, and lip neutral.
