The last time he went to the vet was 4 years ago. He has no known injuries or health problems. Socialization: Around female strangers Maino is very friendly and outgoing. When he plays with adutls he is exuberant but somewhat rough. He spent time with a 10 year old child and with her he was relaxed and playful and gentle at play. He’s spent time with dogs and with small breeds he is relaxed and playful and gentle at play. Around larger breeds he is respectful but doesnt play.

During fireworks Maino cries and barks. If his food bowl was touched while eating he stops eating, his body tenses up, he hovers over his bowl, looks up and growls. He does allow the bowl to be taken away. He becomes playful if a treat or toy is taken from him. He was taught not to go on furniture. He enjoys being held. He isnt bothered if he is disturbed while sleeping, given a bath, if he;s brushed, or if his paws are touched.

For a New Family to Know: Maino is described as friendly, affectionate, playful, shy, pushy, excitable and can be anxious with a very high activity level. The two things his previous owner liked most about him were; he’s affectionate and smart. He liked to play with balls and his favorite game is fetch. He was kept indoors only. He slept on the floor. He ate both wet and dry Pedigree. He is house trained and rarely had accidents indoors. He is well behaved when left alone indoors. He was used to being left alone for more than 12 hours. He was crate trained as a puppy but doesnt need it now. He knows the cues sit, stay, lay down, give me kiss and give me five. He was walked 2 times daily and pulls on leash. Off leash he wanders but comes when called. Behavior during intake: Maino jumped up and gave long hugs. He gave kisses and allowed me to collar him. He sat for treats and allowed me to pet him.

He allowed all handling without issue. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: Summary MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 11/4/16 During his initial medical exam Maino was tense, nervous, and growling. ENERGY LEVEL:

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced, adult-only home _X_No children (under 13): Due to Maino’s bite history and unclear trigger, as well as the resource guarding reported by the owner and seen in the care center, we recommend an adult-only home Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Maino growled as a warning during the bite incident, and also growled as a warning during his medical examination (he did not escalate here), but he has established that he will escalate to a bite in certain situations _X_Resource guarding: Maino tensed over the toy during the SAFER assessment, and also is reported to growl over his food bowl at home. We recommend that Maino be left alone when he is eating or engaged with an item, and that he be taught “drop” and other trade up games. No one should ever take anything directly from Maino’s mouth, and he should always be rewarded for dropping an item so he learns to relinquish readily. Food guarding modification steps can be found at aspcapro.org
