SAFER; AVERAGE HOME

Onix came into our center severely matted on 3/5/16. He was friendly and allowed all handling during intake and his initial medical exam. Onix walked nicely on leash for his relief walk, no pulling. Onix was calm and quiet upon entering the SAFER assessment room. He allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands during Look item, body relaxed. Onix stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, eyes soft, mouth closed, ears and tail neutral. He followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, became a little playful towards last pass, settled at end of game. Onix did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts. He showed minimal interest in Toy, responding to the Squeak sound but not engaging in play for long. He approached the helper dog at an appropriate pace, tail above spine level, ears forward, not stiff.  The Behavior Team feels Onix would do well in an Average home. It is recommended Onix have regularly scheduled professional grooming appointments (approx. every 8-10 weeks) to keep his coat tangle and mat free.

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, eyes soft, ears neutral, mouth closed.

Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, playful towards end of game, settles easily.

Squeeze 1/ 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed.

Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog may smell and/or lick, then turns away.

Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches the helper dog, body soft, tail well above spine level, ears forward.
