BEHAVIOR:

Pappa pulls a bit on the leash. He was excited but very interested in interacting with handler during assessment – jumped up.  Pappa was excited during some of the handling items, but had soft body language. He showed a low threshold for what appears to be frustration and anxiety and as an outlet consistently tried to mount the Assessor during and after Tag and was a bit difficult to distract He took the toy with a soft body language.

Pappa is an active dog he need a significant amount of exercise and mental stimulation. The behavior department feels that he can go to an experience home who can follow up on this behavior.

Look: 3. Dog jumps on the Assessor, consistently rubs his shoulder on the Assessor, and will not allow Assessor to conduct the assessment.

Sensitivity: 2. Dog displays high energy and movement, but it is directed toward getting closer to the Assessor. His body is soft, likely panting, may jump up between attempts to lick Assessor.

Tag: 2. Follows at end of leash, body soft, open mouth, jumpy and humping at the assessor and was a bit difficult to distract him.

Squeeze 1/2:  1. Dog gently pulls back his paw.

Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the toy.

Playgroup Notes:

When off leash with other dogs, Pappa displays intensely sexually motivated behavior (he is unaltered).  When offered correction from the greeter dog, he escalates and begins to growl and snap towards her.  He is then removed from the pen.  The behavior team feels that Pappa would do best as the only resident dog at this time, until his behavior around them can be followed up on outside of the care center environment. Previous owner states “Pappa is aggressive towards male dogs. He will bark, growl, and lunge at them. With female dogs Pappa is very friendly and plays in an exuberant manner
