11/14/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Benson is fearful of the shelter environment he walks with a low and fearful body language. He was not sociable, and was more interested in the surroundings than the handler. When the assessor tries to collar him, Benson became uncomfortable and air snap at the assessor. The behavior team decided to skip the handling part of the assessment for safety reasons. During the resources Benson was not interested in toys. He does not approach other dog, attempts to exit. 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. Toy 1. No interest. Dog-dog: 2. Dog does not approach the helper dog. Turns body to side in relation to other dog, or exits. Helper:A1057684
