07/30/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Asterix came into the care center as a stray, so we do not have any information on her past behaviors in a home. At intake it was noted that Asterix was social, and allowed all handling by a counselor. During SAFER Asterix was also sociable towards the assessor, and maintained a loose body posture for all handling items as well as the tag interaction. During the resources portion of the assessment Asterix was easy to handle when engaged with the food and rawhide items, but showed no interest in the toys. Asterix appears to be very sociable and has not shown any behavioral concerns while in the care center, so the department feels she can be suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience. Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. Her ears are back, her tail is down, and she has a relaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1 & 2: 2. Dog quickly pulls back. Food: 1. Dog calmly allows the food to be moved, follows the dish, but does not interfere with the dish’s movement. Dog’s body is soft and loose, eyes soft, tail neutral. She lifts her head when hand is pushed against her cheek. Toy: 1. No interest. Rawhide: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. She does not place her body between you and the rawhide. Dog-dog: Off leash Asterix greets politely and after some time getting comfortable around the other dogs she begins to solicit play. She engages in vocal running play with both males and females.
