08/19/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Augustus walks calmly on leash. He was sociable toward the handler during the assessment – soft body. He was calm and relaxed during handling. Augustus was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. He growled and bit the assess-a-hand during the food bowl test. Augustus was not interested in toys or rawhide. He was relaxed when approaching a friendly dog, but was not playful. Augustus may require positive reinforcement behavior modification to address this food guarding behavior. The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 1.

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 (may need coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor.
