09/16/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
King was returned to our care centers by his owners as they report he has been snapping at people in the home, this behavior in conjunction with other noted behavioral concerns has become too much for the family to handle. Because of these reasons, the behavior department recommends King be placed with a New Hope rescue partner who can provide an experienced foster home that has the means to appropriately manage King and this behavior. It is crucial that a plan for his care is presented; consultation with a qualified trainer/behaviorist to help address issues that may present outside of the care centers is highly advised.

8/24 Assessment King is a two year old neutered dog who was surrendered to our care centers due to aggressive behaviors in the home in conjunction with a new baby in the home. It has been reported that the owner has tried several different training methods to work with King though seen no progression. According to the owner, King struggles with severe food aggression and has a bite history because of it, multiple bites delivered as a result. King will growl, snarl and then prepare to bite over food – the owner has also noted that he has a habit of eating out of the trash and if reprimanded will also attempt to bite. It has also been reported that he will growl and snap if his paws are touched. King is described as outgoing around strangers and will jump on those he meets. He lived with another male dog in the home and is described as playful, engaging with the other dog; King has not been around cats. King has lived with two adults, one teenager and a six month old baby; he is described as relaxed around the children though will at times engage in rough play. Upon intake, King was tense and stood close to his owner. He kept his head low and body tense when scanned by the admissions counselor, growling was noted. Collaring and photograph proceeded with assistance from owner. During SAFER, King came into the assessment room fearful and timid, he was not interested with the assessor he would keep his distance and run away. Not all handling items were able to be conducted as King is very fearful and would not allow any form of touch. He displayed no interest in the toy resource item during this portion of the assessment. Due to the behavior noted in home as well as in shelter, it is recommended that placement with a New Hope partner who can provide an experienced foster home to work with King and allow him to interact at his own pace is most beneficial at this time. A proper period of decompression is advised before any introduction/exposure to new and unfamiliar stimuli; force-free, reward based training is advised. Toy 1: No interest. Dog-dog: When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, King is anxious and mostly avoids greeting the other dog. He greets the other male dog briefly but mostly keeps to himself as he explores the pen.
