Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: None 7/8/17 Unaltered male, stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 7/11/17 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, his eyes are averted, and his 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. Follows at end of leash, body soft, distracted. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed. Toy 1: No interest. Summary: Sergio was friendly, and allowed handling; he displayed a high activity level and displayed some signs of anxiety (whining, panting heavily, distracted.) PLAYGROUP: When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Sergio displays soft and social body language in a group of calm male and female dogs. Sergio was brought into the Care Center as a stray so his previous behavior around other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Sergio be placed with dogs that match his calm sociability. INTAKE BEHAVIOR 7/8/17 Sergio had a loose body and was wagging his tail. He allowed the counselor to collar and take his picture with no problems. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 7/8/17 Sergio was very active and tolerant during his initial medical examination ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Sergio so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the (behaviors outlined below). Potential challenges: _X_ Basic manners/Poor impulse control: It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach Sergio to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended. _X_ Anxiety: Sergio has shown some signs of potential anxiety in the care center, vocalizing (whining, barking) continually through the SAFER. This behavior was not reported at intake, and we have no known history on Sergio, so we cannot be certain whether similar behavior will be seen in a future home environment.
