01/29/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Ziggy came to us as an owner surrender because the owner is moving to a location that does not allow pets. According to the owner Ziggy is playful and respectful to both children and adults. He is tolerant of other dogs, but does not play much with them anymore. It is reported that Ziggy will chase and attack raccoons, possums, and cats seen in the yard. Ziggy was very interested in interacting with the assessor when entering the behavior room. He allowed the assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items while maintaining soft body language. Ziggy was distracted during the tag interaction and was more interested in exploring the environment. He took to the toy item away with stiff body language when the assessor attempted to take it away with the assess-a-hand. When on an on leash dog interaction he rushed in quickly with tense and confident body language. The behavior department believes that Ziggy can go to an experienced owner that does not have any cats or any exposure to cats in the future. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Dog’s mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (may need coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed or back. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed or back. Toy 1: 3. Dog takes toy away, keeps a firm hold. His body is stiff. Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches the helper dog by rushing in with tense body language, tail well above spine level, ears forward.
