Summary (1):

Lamia engages in gentle play with both male and female dogs. She is nervous at times and will offer a correction when she is overwhelmed. She solicits attention, by persistently placing her muzzle on the other dog’s face. Lamia was brought in as a stray with another dog. The Behavior Department recommends that Lamia be placed in a home with resident dogs that are respectful and matches her gentle play style.

10/30-11/01: Lamia solicits and engages in very gentle play in a group of male and female dogs. She is sensitive to body contact from other dogs but is pushy with her muzzle greetings. When another dog persistently mouths her legs, she offers a correction, then moves away.
11/11- 11/13: Lamia returned to playgroup after a few days of rest. She entered the pen with a low body. She engages in bouts of play, but is slightly tense body. She becomes assertive during play and attempts to mount the male dog.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:

EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)

Behavior Asilomar
TM – Treatable-Manageable
Potential challenges:  Fearful

Potential challenges comments:

Though observed to be human-social, Lamia may need time to warm up to the handler as she initially presents as a fearful dog, avoiding contact, shying away from direct touch. We recommend allowing Maxine to interact at her own pace, force-free, rewarding based training is advised when introducing her to new/unfamiliar situations.
