05/28/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Limited Profile 5/23/17 Neuter status, surrender (In previous home for one week) Previously lived with: Adults, a teenager (age fifteen), and a cat Behavior toward strangers: Behavior toward children: Hard barks and lunges at small children Behavior toward dogs: Barks and growls at dogs while on walks Behavior toward cats: Tolerant and relaxed Resource guarding: Yes, he will growl if food is taken away from him Bite history: Yes, Simba has bitten five people. The first bite was to the owner when she startled him in the middle of the night. The second and third bites were also to the owner when he was lunging at other dogs and she attempted to take him away from them. The other two bites were to people at the vet’s office when they were examining him. These bites resulted in broken skin but did not require medical care. Housetrained: No Energy level/descriptors: Other notes: SAFER ASSESSMENT: 5/28/17 Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, 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 gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the toy. Summary: Simba displayed no concerning behaviors on his assessment. DOG-DOG INTERACTION ASSESSMENT: Summary PLAYGROUP: Summary INTAKE BEHAVIOR MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/23/17 During his initial medical, Simba was social and active. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Simba 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: New Hope Only

RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13): Due to the owner’s report that Simba lunges at children, as well as his multiple bite history, we recommend an adult only home. _X_Place with a New Hope partner: Due to all noted concerns displayed in a home environment, the behavior department recommends Simba be placed with a New Hope placement partner who is able to provide an experienced adult-only foster home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Simba to acclimate comfortably to his new environment; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing Simba to new and unfamiliar situations. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended for guidance to safely manage/modify any behavior Simba presents with outside of the care centers. Potential challenges: _X_Resource guarding: Simba’s previous owner notes that he may growl if food is taken from him. We recommend that Simba be left along while eating, and that food guarding behavior modification steps (available at ASPCApro.org) be utilized if this behavior is problematic in his future home. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Simba’s mouth, and any time something is removed he should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. He should be taught the “drop” cue and trade-up games. _X_Multiple-bite history/risk of future aggression: Simba has a multiple-bite history and escalates quickly to snapping and biting, so this is an established behavior. Simba needs careful behavior modification and management to prevent future bites. We recommend only force-free, reward-based training methods for Simba as more aversive techniques are likely to increase fear and increase the risk of aggression. _X_On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Previous owner reported that Simba reacts to other dogs and children passerby on leash, lunging towards them, barking and growling. Simba may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach him to look at you rather than other dogs and novel stimuli that may startle him. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior.

05/14/2017 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION

Simba was surrender as a stray, so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown. 5/14: When off leash at the Care Center, Simba initially greets the other dogs at the gate, with hard barks and frustration. The pen door is open, and Simba displays a nervous posture with both novel male and female dogs. He keeps to himself, wandering the pen.
