08/16/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Mason previously lived with 5 adults and 2 small children. The owner stated Mason is friendly and playful towards the family members. The owner mentioned if Mason encounters a cat on a walk he will attempt to give chase. It was reported by the owner Mason will guard/growl his food when attempting to remove it away from him, and he may bite. At intake it was reported Mason was friendly but grumbled when being collared, he allowed all handling. During SAFER Mason came into the assessment room loose and wiggly, he was friendly and playful towards the assessor. Not all handling items were able to be conducted as Mason snapped at the assessor on the second paw squeeze item and growl and bit the assess-a-hand on toy item. 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. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Or dog indicates play with huffing, soft ‘popping’ of the body, etc. Dog jumps on Assessor once play begins. Squeeze 1: 5. Dog snaps at the assessor. Toy 1: 5. Dog growls and bites the assess-a-hand. Dog-dog: When off leash at the Care Center, Mason approaches the gate with a soft, loose body. He greets the helper dog briefly but mostly explores the yard. He does become slightly sexually motivated but responds well to interruptions.
