01/22/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Saint previously lived with 2 adults and has been around small children. The owner stated Saint is gentle and playful towards the children and the adults. The owner mentioned Said can be destructive to carpet with scratching. The owner stated Saint is well behaved when home alone. At intake it was reported Saint was friendly and loose for all handling. During SAFER Saint came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, he was friendly and social towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Saint was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Saint was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Saint is reported to show destructive behavior in the home, such as scratching the carpet in the home. We are unaware of what, if any, attempts were made to remedy this behavior but we suggest to future adopters that Saint will need to be provided with physical and mental stimulation and with a variety of appropriate and engaging chew toys so Saint can engage in necessary chewing behavior without damage to human objects. The behavior department feels he can be suitable for an “Average” adopter. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog smells, then turns away. Dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs, greets with a stiff body and tail well above his spine. Once he enters the pen, Saint is mostly sexually motivated but does respond well to the handler’s corrections.
