12/10/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Chester came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. During SAFER Chester came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, he was social towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Chester was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Chester was easy to handle when engaged with the items. It was reported while having his cone placed back on; Chester growled and lunged at the second handler who was not holding his leash. This behavior appears to be fear-based given his low body posture, tucked tail and mild trembling and when walking with Chester in the hallway he would growl and lunged at people that are in front of him. Due to some behavioral concerns the behavior department feels Chester can be suitable for an experience adopter with no children. 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: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is between his legs, body tense, mouth closed. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1: 3. Dog is a bit tense in body and eye, and moves his legs/body so that the Assessor is unable to hold the paw Flank squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all. Toy 1: No interest. Dog-dog: When off leash with other dog, Chester greets at the gate but avoids the other dog once introduced. His tail is tucked, and he avoids any further contact with the dog.
