12/02/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Able came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. During SAFER Able came into the assessment room loose and wiggly, he was friendly and social towards the assessor with high energy, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Able was distracted but not fearful during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Able was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Able appears to be a high-energy dog that will likely do best with an adopter prepared to provide mental and physical stimulation and appropriate outlets for his energy, so the behavior department feels he can be suitable for an “Average” adopter. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. 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 (need coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Dog may lick hand. Squeeze 2: 1. Dog does not respond at all for three seconds. His eyes are averted and his ears are relaxed. Toy 1: 1. Dog settles down close to chew, will relinquish toy to you. Dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs, Able greets politely and attempts to solicit play but is a bit awkward. He is sexually motivated but takes correction well from the handlers.
