06/06/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Billy came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. It was reported Billy was social, loose and wiggly upon intake. During SAFER had a loose body posture when interacting with the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Billy was relaxed during the tag interaction but distracted, and during the resources portion of the assessment Billy was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Billy appears to be sociable, and did not display any behaviors concerns and 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” experience adopter. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, open mouth. 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.
