03/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Mimi previously lived with one adult and has been around the owner grandchildren ages 10 and 12 years old, she is relaxed and respectful towards them. The owner stated when Mimi is around strangers she is shy and takes several minutes to warm up, and will bark and growl at cats and other dogs. It was reported Mimi destroys household items, is partially house trained and has a medium activity level. Mimi has a previous bite history, having bitten a neighbor a year ago who walked into the home without warning. The neighbor was attempting to enter the home when Mimi lunged and bit her leg resulting in a four punctures. At intake it was reported Mimi was tense with her tail tucked, she allowed all handling with assistance from the owner. During SAFER Mimi came into the assessment room tense, nervous and trembling, she was a bit social towards the assessor with a slow approach. Flank squeeze was used due to the condition of Mimi’s paws, but she was not comfortable with the flank squeeze, head flipping and moving her hip away from the assessor on the second squeeze. She displayed no interest in the toy item during this portion of the assessment. Mimi is reported to experience separation anxiety in a home environment: when left alone she may chew door frames, chew bars of the crate, chew other household items, and has run into and cracked windows. We recommend that potential adopters feel comfortable with separation anxiety behaviors and be prepared to manage and positively modify them should they appear in a home environment. Due to Mimi’s anxiety level and discomfort with close proximity, we feel that placement with a New hope partner who can provide positive reinforcement-based behavior modification is the best option at this time. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her body posture is stiff and fearful; her tail is low and not moving. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, her tail is between her legs, body tense, mouth closed. Tag: 2. Dog is fearful but unresponsive when touched. Approaches the Assessor when the game ends. Dog is crouching, and lip licks. Flank squeeze 1: 3. Dog closes mouth, and becomes stiff. Flank squeeze 1: 3. Dog head flips while moving hip away. Toy: 1. No interest.
