10/13/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Rex came into our center as an owner surrender citing he was too strong for the family to handle. It is reported he has lived with the family for 8 years, he lived with 3 adults and 5 children in the home. Owner reports Rex may be possibly losing some vision and hearing and fears it may affect his behavior negatively, but we did not witness this here at the center. Owner reports Rex lived with another dog and they got along well. However, it should be noted while here in the center Rex engaged in an altercation with another dog that broke out of his kennel while Rex was unleashed in the area. Rex pulled hard on leash for his relief walk. He allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands during Look item, tail wagging. Rex stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, body soft, tail wagging. He followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, settling easily at end of game. Rex did not pull back his paw on first Squeeze attempt, gently pulled back on second. He lifted his head and ceased eating when assess-a-hand approached the Food bowl. Rex had minimal interest in Toy and no interest in Rawhide. He approached the helper dog at an appropriate pace, tail above spine level, ears forward, body relaxed. Due to the altercation with another dog here at the center, even though this may have been circumstantial trigger stacking, the Behavior Team feels Rex would do best with an Experienced adopter. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. He 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 closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Food: 1. Dog lifts head and ceases eating when you reach to pull the bowl away or push him out. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in toy, dog may smell or lick, then turns away. Rawhide: 1. No interest. Dog-dog: 2 Dog approaches the helper dog, body not stiff, tail well above spine level, ears forward.
