11/17/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: N/A Unaltered, Stray SAFER ASSESSMENT: 11/16/16 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog was unable to stay position. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Flank Squeeze 1&2: 1. Dog does not respond at all. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog smells, then turns away. Summary: Stormy was social towards the assessor with a slow approach, he displayed no concerns. PLAYGROUP: Stormy was surrendered as a stray so his past behavior around dogs is unknown. When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Stormy greets male and female dogs displaying neutral body language. He is slightly sexually motivated with females but is able to explore the pen. He displays calm sociability with a neutered male. The Behavior Department recommends that Stormy be placed in a home with dogs that match his calm sociability and that a proper dog-dog interaction be conducted to ensure compatibility. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 11/14/16 During his initial medical exam Stormy remained somewhat sedated, displayed no concern because of this reason. ENERGY LEVEL: IN-SHELTER OBSERVATIONS: Though observed to be human-social, Stormy may need time to warm up to the handler as he initially presents as a fearful dog, avoiding contact, shying away from direct touch. We recommend allowing Stormy to interact at his own pace, force-free, rewarding based training is advised when introducing him to new/unfamiliar situations. Stormy has also been observed to guard his food/food bowl in his kennel (gulping, growling) and upon approach has air-snapped towards handlers, because of this we advise against a home without children. 11/20: Due to Stromy’s kennel presence- lunging and hard barking at the kennel door-he is not a candidate for the adoptions room. For the safety of staff and the public, placement should be sought as soon as possibe. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with a previous amount of dog experience) _X_No children (under 13)(See potential challenges) Potential challenges: _X_Resource guarding (Stormy may require positive reinforcement behavior modification to address this food guarding behavior. In addition to food behavior modification protocol we recommend teaching Stormy “Drop It” and trade-up games.)
