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: 2.

PLAYGROUP: Summary MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 10/15/16 During Hedwig’s initial medical eam he was a little tense but tolerated handling. ENERGY LEVEL: Hedwig displays a medium activity level in the care center. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience _X_No children (under 13)(See known bite history) Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control (It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training is recommended.) _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Due to his bite history we cannot be certain if Hedwig has suppressed any behavior as a result of his environment, for this reason a home without children is highly advised.)
