She has been reported to growl around her food and the owner will have to remove her food bowl after eating otherwise Sita will guard her food all day. The owner stated that Sita does tend to bark at and lunge at other dogs while on walks, and that she pulls very strongly on the leash. When Sita was younger she lived with two cats and was respectful and tolerant of them in the home but when outdoors she lunges towards them. Sita had very calm and relaxed body language when entering the behavior room. She allowed the assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items while maintaining soft body language. She only displayed minimal interest in the toy item on this portion of the assessment. When on an on-leash dog interaction Sita approached the helper dog with relaxed body language. Due to Sita’s previous bite history and behavior in the home of guarding her food the behavior department believes that Sita can go to an experienced adopter with no young children. Look: 1.
