WEB MEMO
A Volunteer Writes: This compact, waggy girl was a delightful companion on a stroll to the park on a bitterly cold day. She made our lives easy by walking sweetly on a leash (she appears housetrained), and she made the day seem brighter with her sweet company and constantly wagging tail. Layla had a little trouble negotiating playgroup with other dogs, but on a leash in the park, passing other dogs, she sashayed on by without a second glance.

12/14/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: N/A Intact, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 12/14/16 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is between his legs, body stiff, mouth closed, lip long, ears likely back, may lip lick. Tag: 4. Dog stands her ground while not cornered and barks at the Assessor with ears forward, body stiff, mouth closed and lips pursed/curled when not barking. Toy: 1. No interest Summary: Layla came in to the assessment room, a bit cautious though soliciting attention from handlers. Layla appeared to become uncomfortable upon loud noises and sudden movements; when attempting to engage in play Layla became highly uncomfortable and froze mid-game, hard-eyeing the assessor and lip curling when attempting to refocus. For these reasons, all further handling portions were omitted. Layla may benefit best from placement with a New Hope rescue group who can further assess this behavior in a more stable environment. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: When passing by dogs on-leash or through barriers, Layla drops low to the ground. She then, stiffens, growls, then lunges toward other dogs. Based on these observations made, a muzzle was placed on Layla before conducting an off-leash interaction. Layla is highly distracted by the presence of a muzzle. When approached by the other dog, she becomes slightly tense, then resumes attempting to remove the muzzle. The behavior department does advise against placing Layla into a home with other dogs at this time, until follow-up can be conducted under the guidance of a positive-reinforcement trainer or behaviorist. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 12/13/16 During her initial exam Layla appeared to be tense ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13) _x_Single-pet home (see playgroup notes) _x_Recommend no dog parks (see playgroup notes) _X_Place with a New Hope partner (Layla may benefit best from placement with a New Hope rescue group who can further assess this behavior in a more stable environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing/exposing Layla to new and unfamiliar situations.) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression _X_On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration
