Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Helper Dog:A0935852 According to the owner Chipo has been around children ages 18 months and older, and was reported to be relaxed and tolerant with the children but doesn’t usually play with them. Chipo also has lived with another dog and cat and the owner stated he was gentle and respectful of them both. It was mentioned that Chipo is not bothered when someone touches his food bowl, but will growl when another dog comes near his food when he is eating. He was also reported to growl if someone takes away a bone or rawhide. At intake it was noted that Chipo had a tense body language and would retreat to the owners when approached, but when relaxed he allowed the counselor to pet and collar him. During SAFER Chipo was fearful, and needed time to feel comfortable enough to approach the assessor. He was tolerant of some handling, but when the assessor attempted the paw handling, He became stiff and lip curled. Due to this behavior and to avoid further escalation no other handling items were attempted. Chipo also became stiff and gave a low growl when being pushed out of the food bowl. He was not interested in the toy or rawhides items and had stiff body language when approaching the helper dog. In addition to the concerns seen on SAFER Chipo has also shown some concerns when on leash; mouthing the leash in attempts to getting away, and made several attempts to lunge at the assessor. Due to these behavior concerns placement with a New Hope partner is recommended. Look: 3. Dog will not allow Assessor to hold his head, and will not allow Assessor to conduct the assessment. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, his tail is down, body a bit tense, mouth closed, ears back. Tag: 2. Dog is fearful but unresponsive when touched. Dog approaches the Assessor when the game ends. (needed coaxing to approach.) Dog is crouching. Squeeze 1: 4. Dog lip curls. Food: 4. Dog freezes and growls. Toy 1: No interest. Rawhide: 1.
