07/18/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 7/5/17 Unaltered Male, Stray Bite history: Yes, Rox has bitten and killed another dog. Details are minimal; the other dog appears to have been a small dog. SAFER ASSESSMENT: 7/18/17 Summary: At the care center, Rox has remained aloof with handlers and has jumped away quickly from touch, allowing only minimal handling. Out of concern for his stress levels, and due to safety concerns, we feel that Rox is not a good candidate for a handling assessment at this time. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: Summary INTAKE BEHAVIOR MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 7/9/17 During his initial medical exam, Rox was very tense and allowed minimal handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Rox so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a medium level of activity. RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13): Due to how uncomfortable Rox is currently with touch and novel stimuli, we feel that an adult-only home would be most beneficial at this time. _X_Single-pet home _X_Recommend no dog parks _X_Place with a New Hope partner: Rox has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home. Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Rox has remained aloof and avoidant of handlers at the care center, allowing minimal handling. Due to the consistent behavior displayed in shelter, the behavior department recommends an experienced adult home only until he can acclimate to his new home environment for the behavior to be further assessed. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is advised; force-free, reward based training only is recommended.
