A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes: “SHY, QUIET TYPE” Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.. Is all I could say when I met Tyson, he is sooooo handsome. Tyson isn’t just another pretty face. He is smart, too. He sat, gave me both paws, laid down, rolled over–and this was all within 10 minutes of meeting me. Tyson loves treats, probably a bit too much since he could stand to lose a few pounds (but who couldn’t?). Tyson is considered a large dog, but surprisingly he walks well on leash, only pulling slightly when we first exited the shelter. Tyson stole my heart, and I’m sure he will steal yours as well. Watch his video and click the Adopt Me Button if you’re interested in finding out more about him.

A staff member writes: Tyson is a sweet, round pooch that came to us because his owner is moving. He is friendly boy that has lived with children and other dogs and was noted to be good with them however, Tyson does not realize his size and energy level

Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

For a New Family to Know:
Tyson is described as friendly, affectionate, playful and excitable. He has a very high activity level and likes to play with all types of toys. As per owner, Tyson easily shreds toys so durable toys are recommended. He was kept mostly indoors and is very house trained. Tyson was fed dry food only brand Science Diet. When Tyson was left alone in the home, he was always well behaved. When left alone in the yard, Tyson would bark for attention and wag his tail when someone passed by him. Tyson knows the cues sit, come, stay, down and shake. For exercise, Tyson was taken on brisk walks on the leash and be let out in the yard to play. When on the leash, Tyson tends to pull very hard. Owner has taken Tyson on off leash walks and stated that he would wander around at first but once his name was called, he would come back to the owner.

Details on my behavior are…

Summary:   Tyson displayed no behavior concerns during his handling assessment.

Summary (1):   1/31/18: When greeted by a small dog, Tyson was loose, wiggly and offered multiple play bows. After several snaps from the small female dog, Tyson vocalized back.

Date of intake:   28-Jan-2018
Summary:  During intake, Tyson was loose and wiggly and allowed all handling.

Date of initial:  28-Jan-2018
Summary:  During his initial medical exam, Tyson was social and allowed all handling.

ENERGY LEVEL:  Owner reports Tyson has a high activity level which matches what we have seen in the care center. Tyson is a young, social, enthusiastic dog who will benefit from daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend daily walks, runs, exercise, and play, as well as long lasting chews like kongs and nylabones to positively direct his enthusiasm.

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:  Tyson is social, loose and wiggly with all staff.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:  AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
Behavior Asilomar
H – Healthy

Enrichment
Tyson is calm and soft in his kennel, easy to leash when going in and out. Outside in the yard, he is loose, VERY wiggly and often solicits petting. He appears to know the cues ” Sit, Paw, Down and roll over” ! takes treats very gently as well. Tyson attempts to mount handlers at times but responds well to spray bottle corrections.

2/6/18
Enrichment Tyson is loose and wiggly, social and interactive, with several people in the yard (staff and volunteers). He learned to sit, give paw, and lay down with only hand cues in exchange for some higher value treats, though Tyson can become easily distracted if another person crinkles a bag of treats while he is being cued. He ran playfully from person to person, accepted petting.
