Remy likes to play fetch with a ball, and playing Tug-a-War. She has not been around any other dog outside of the household for an extended period of time. She is a bit conflicted when it comes to play with other dogs; However I believe she can do well with a little enrichment and socialization. SAFER ASSESSMENT: 5/4/17 Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, and her tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is open for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Or dog indicates play with huffing, soft ‘popping’ of the body, etc. Dog jumps on Assessor once play ends. Squeeze 1/2: 1. Dog gently pulls back her paw, licks hand. Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the toy. Summary: Remy was friendly and social towards the assessor. Remy displayed no concerning behavior during her assessment. PLAYGROUP: When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Remy displays stiff body language when greeting male and female dogs. When in the pen, Remy immediately jumps on the other dogs’ backs, persisting after the handlers interrupt. According to Remy’s previous guardian, Remy has lived with an 11 year old Yorkshire terrier mix; and plays somewhat rough. Due to Remy’s low sociability towards other dogs, the Behavior Department recommends that she be the only resident dog. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/3/17:Remy is social, friendly, and allows all handling.

ENERGY LEVEL: Her previous owner reports a high activity level, which matches what we have seen in the care center. Remy displayed high energy and movement throughout assessment. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm. We recommend a front-clipping harness to manage the pulling, along with rewarding Remy for walking nicely on leash. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below). _X_Recommend no dog park/Single dog home- Due to Remy’s reactivity towards other dogs displayed here at the Care Center, lunging and jumping on their backs, the Behavior Department recommends that she not be taken to dog parks. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help decrease Remy’s arousal level.

When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Remy displays stiff body language when greeting male and female dogs. When in the pen, Remy immediately jumps on the other dogs’ backs, persisting after the handlers interrupt. According to Remy’s previous guardian, Remy has lived with an 11 year old Yorkshire terrier mix; and plays somewhat rough. Due to Remy’s low sociability towards other dogs, the Behavior Department recommends that she be the only resident dog. 5/3: Remy initially ignores the other dog when she enters the pen. When she notices the other dog, Remy rushes towards the gate displaying stiff body language and begins to muzzle punch the gate. Due to the greeter’s dog lack of tolerance, they are not introduced. 5/4: Remy was introduced to a female dog today. At the gate she initially greets with a neutral posture but quickly tenses, barks and lunges at the gate. Due to this behavior, a soft muzzle is placed on Remy. Once they are allowed to meet face to face Remy jumps onto the other dog’s back and ignores the hard corrections- series of deep growls and teeth baring- that the helper dog gives her. 5/13: During his counter conditioning sessions, Remy is able to displays soft body language when greeting a dog through the fence.
