Socialization: According to the owner, around strangers thor is shy for a few minutes but once he is comfortable he is exhuberant with adults.

06/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Thor came into our center as an owner surrender citing separation anxiety and destroying items in the home. Owner reports Thor is shy at first around strangers but will warm up, once comfortable he is playful and exuberant with adults. Owner purposely did not introduce Thor to young children due to his exuberant play, so behavior around young children is unknown. It is reported Thor lived with another similarly sized dog, his father, relaxed and playful together. Owner states Thor is not bothered by having someone take away his food, toys or treats, having his nails trimmed, having his coat brushed, being restrained/held and when unfamiliar people would approach the owner.However, Thor will bark and growl when unfamiliar people would approach owners yard. Owner reports Thor is fearful of taking a bath. He is reportedly housetrained to go outside. Owner reports Thor would destroy household items when left alone in the home. If alone in the yard, Thor would bark and dig. For exercise, owner reports Thor would walk on leash and also go running/jogging with owner. He is described as friendly and affectionate. Thor was cautious and alert upon entering SAFER assessment room, but approached assessor slowly/curiously. He allowed his head to be cupped in assessors hands, relaxed. Thor stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, body soft, mouth open, ears and tail neutral. He followed slowly at the end of the leash for Tag game, a bit cautious and aware of assessor’s every move, did not approach at end of game. Thor did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts. He showed minimal interest in Toy, though this may be due to environment as owner reports he likes to play with balls, stuffed animals, squeaky toys, and chew toys/bones. He reportedly likes to play fetch, chase, wrestling and tug. Thor approached the helper dog at an appropriate pace, tail at spine level, relaxed. The Behavior Team feels Thor would do best with an Experienced adopter.Due to him not having experience with children, any young children in the home should have an in depth interaction before considering adoption. Thor would do best with a slow approach/slow introduction, preferably with treats,may benefit from obedience classes to learn proper crate training to aid in decreasing anxiety when alone. Look: 1 eyes averted Sensitivity: 1 accepts touch Tag: 2 fearful, unresponsive to touch, does not approach at end Squeeze 1/2: 1 No response Toy: 1 Min dog: 1 relaxed
