10/24/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Buddy came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. At intake it was reported Buddy was energetic with loose body language, he allowed all handling. During SAFER Buddy came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, he was friendly and social towards the assessor with a slow approach, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Buddy was distracted but not fearful during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Buddy was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Buddy has been showing fearful behavior. We cannot be certain if behavior may be suppressed as a result of the shelter environment. Please note that behavior may change when Buddy is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. In addition, we recommend that introductions are done slowly, and Buddy be given the opportunity to interact at his own pace, so the behavior department feels he can be suitable for an experience adopter with no young children. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is tense and fearful, his tail is low and not moving. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is between his legs, body tense, mouth closed. 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: 2.
