05/16/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
5/16 update: Pretty Gurl has demonstrated high levels of anxiety and reactivity in the care center. Please see GroupBehavior notes for details of anxious behavior; on-leash and through kennel bars Pretty Gurl reacts to other dogs by pulling, barking, lunging, and snapping, and is very difficult to control. This is in line with what her intake profile states. Due to the severity of the reaction as well as her known history we are recommending placement with a New Hope partner at this time, and we caution that any group taking Pretty Gurl should have a plan in place to make sure she receives the support she needs to address this anxiety. She will likely require a counterconditioning and desensitization protocol. We recommend safety tools to keep Pretty Gurl and those around her safe and comfortable, and that she be the only dog in the home until her behavior is addressed. 5/11 SAFER: Pretty Gurl pulls a bit on leash. She was not sociable, and was more interested in the surroundings than the handler during the assessment. Pretty Gurl was calm and relaxed during handling. She was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. Pretty Gurl took the toy with a soft body language.

Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Due to high levels of anxiety, Pretty Gurl has only had a limited number of introductions off leash. During both of these introductions, she was more focused on seeking to exit the yard as opposed to the other dogs. Previous owner reports “She does not like other dogs/animals and was walked with a muzzle. She will bark and lunge at other dogs/squirrels/cats/birds on her walks”. The behavior department recommends that she be the only dog in the home until her behavior is addressed. Pretty Gurl has also displayed concerning behavior while on-leash around other dogs while in our care, please see Behavior entry for details. When off leash with other dogs, Pretty Gurl is anxious in the yard. She corrects approach, and seeks exit from the yard. 5/11 update: Pretty Gurl greets very briefly then begins panicking, jumping at the door and seeking exit.
