09/10/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Belladonna was nervous when entering the assessment but wagged tail when coaxed to approach the assessor, however, once touched she became stiff and fearful with a tucked tail initially. Belladonna also barked at strangers if when turning a corner or entering a room, however, she curiously approached strangers in plain sight with a wagging tail and soft body. She remained fearful and stiff throughout handling but allowed all items to be conducted without issue. During tag, she was unresponsive to touch but followed the assessor and approached with a neutral body once movement ceased. Belladonna did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. She had no interest in toys or rawhide. Belladonna was brought to the care center as a stray; upon intake, she appeared scared, with tucked tail and whale eyes, she barked upon approach and tilted her head down and away, but once leashed and walking, she loosened up slightly. During the assessment Belladonna was cautious of handling and demonstrated fearful behavior, including barking at some strangers, however, she allowed all handling to be conducted without aggression. The Behavior Department feels she would do best if placed with an experienced adopter with no young children that understands that introductions are done slowly, and Belladonna be given the opportunity to interact at their own pace. We also recommend that future adopters should be able to provide positive experiences for Belladonna. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted.
