04/19/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 4/18/17 Unaltered Female, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 4/18/17 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 down, body stiff, mouth closed. Tag: 3. Dog repeatedly spins toward the touch, and repeatedly tries to exit. Squeeze 1: 4. Dog growls. Flank squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all. Flank squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all. Toy: 1. No interest. Summary: Paprika appeared fearful during her assessment, moving away from the assessor, becoming tense, and growling when her paw was touched. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: When introduced off leash to dogs in the care center, Paprika stands tall when greeting, with a high vibrating tail. She attempts to mount other dogs of both sexes. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 4/17/17 During her initial medical exam, Paprika was fractious. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Paprika so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care ceter displays a low level of activity. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced adopter, adult-only home (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_No children (under 13): Due to how uncomfortable Paprika is currently with touch and novel stimuli, we feel that an adult-only home would be most beneficial at this time. Potential challenges: _X_Handling/touch sensitivity: Paprika has been noted to become uncomfortable with handling at times. It is important to always go slow and give Paprika the option to walk away from any social interaction. Paprika should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Paprika’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Paprika may do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings. _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Paprika has growled and snapped when fearful at the care center. She does best with a slow approach, and should be permitted to greet new people at her own pace and to initiate interaction (rather than being approached and pet immediately by a new person).
