07/01/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Ray’s previous owner notes that he is friendly and gentle with strangers but has never been around cats or other dogs. He is reported to be tolerant around children but may play a bit roughly. He may destroy household items when left unattended (which items he goes after is not clear). He may growl when removed from furniture, but showed no possessive behavior over food, toys, or other objects. He is described as friendly and with a high activity level. Ray was a bit timid when brought in for his behavior evaluation, needing coaxing to approach the assessor, but he showed no red flag behaviors. He allowed all handling items though he remained tense throughout. He did not engage with the toy and showed no interest when the toy was removed. Interacting with other dogs in playgroup allowed Ray to relax, and he warmed up quickly to the other dogs, soliciting gentle play. We recommend an experienced adopter for Ray who will allow him to warm up to his new home and new family at his own pace. We also advise that potential adopters be prepared to provide reward-based training and guidance to help Ray become a successful family pet, as he is still a young dog who will likely need some additional help to learn appropriate behavior in a home. The home may need to be puppy-proofed to prevent Ray from making human items into toys, and Ray will need to be provided with a suppy of engaging toys to provide physical and mental exercise. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is a bit tense and fearful, his tail is low and not moving, mouth open and panting. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is between his legs, body stiff, mouth closed, lip long, ears back. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body low and a bit fearful. Squeeze 1 & 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted. Toy: 1. No interest. Playgroup: When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Ray is initially nervous, greeting the female dog with a low body. As the session continues, Ray becomes more relaxed and solicits gentle play. He engaged and solicited gentle play in a group consisting of male and female adult dogs as well as a puppy.

07/01/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION

According to Ray’s previous owner, Ray has no known history being around other dogs. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Ray was initially nervous but was able to engage in gentle play in a group of males, females and puppies. When chase play ensues, Ray becomes slightly over-aroused, running behind the other dog, low growling. He quickly deescalates when the other dog take a break from running and is able to continue wandering in the pen.
