04/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Theodore walks calmly on leash. He was shy during the assessment – low body and tail, but trying to stay close. Theodore had a low body position during the tag test, but followed the assessor at the end of the leash. He became stiff and uncomfortable giving a low growl during paw handling. The behavior assessor tries to do the flank on Theodore but he was stiff and giving a whale eyes. The behavior team decided to skip the handling for safety reason. During the resources Theodore was not interested in toys. The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is stiff and fearful; his tail is low and not moving. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, shy body language, mouth closed, lip long, ears likely back, may lip lick. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body low and a bit fearful. Squeeze 1: 4.
