04/04/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Helper: Only a partial assessment was conducted for Ralph due to his medical condition. Upon intake Ralph appeared to be friendly and allowed all handling. In addition, Ralph was observed receiving a medical exam and allowed all handling without restraint. He did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. Ralph showed no interest in the toy or rawhide items on this poriton of the assessment. He approached the helper dog with very relaxed body langauage, but was not interested in play. Due to our inability to fully assess Ralph, we recommend a New Hope partner who can re-evaluate his behavior in a stable home environment. Food: 1. Dog lifts head and ceases eating when you reach to pull the bowl away or push him out. Toy 1: No interest. Rawhide: 1. No interest. Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body not stiff, ears relaxed, lip long or neutral.
