05/11/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Sheba came into our center after biting owner that attempted to brush her coat, it should be noted Sheba has a significant amount of thick undercoat and attempting to brush may be quite uncomfortable. Owner reports Sheba has never been bathed but has been sedated at the groomer in the past. Family has reported Sheba has bitten everyone in the home at various times, no further details were given. It is reported Sheba lived with children ages 13, 15, 17, at times affectionately licking and giving them kisses, has never lived with younger children. Owner reports Sheba lived with a small dog, but the two were kept separate because Sheba pounced on the small dog once and bared teeth. Behavior around cats is unknown. Sheba reportedly growls and stands over her food bowl or toys if approached. Sheba reportedly warms up to strangers after a few days, initially tense and hard barking. Sheba is described as sometimes affectionate and shy. In our center, Sheba came in and out of the kennel easily, allowed collaring. She approached the assessor and backed her rear into assessor’s legs, appearing to enjoy rubbing her butt in what looked like a ‘dance’. She held gaze for three full seconds during Look item, relaxed. Sheba leaned into assessor during Sensitivity item, appeared to enjoy the touch, ‘dancing’. She was distracted and unresponsive during Tag game. Sheba did not pull her paw back on first Squeeze attempt, raised lip on second Squeeze. Owner reports Sheba may bare teeth when having her nails trimmed. Sheba approached the helper dog at an appropriate pace, tail at spine level, body soft. Due to the various instances of biting, the Behavior Team feels Sheba will do best with a New Hope Partner. She may benefit from regularly scheduled professional grooming visits (approx. every 8-10 weeks) to keep her coat comfortable and decrease the chances of reactivitiy when brushed. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1.
