05/01/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Cups came into the care center as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. He has been high-energy but easy to handle since intake. Cups is a very active young dog, and he was difficult to position for the SAFER items; however, on the occasions that he did settle he was calm and seemed to enjoy the human contact. Cups was active and would not settle for Look, but showed affiliative behavior toward the assessor, jumping up and licking at her face. He was mouthy and turned toward the Assessor’s hand each time she held the collar, but once the Sensitivity item began Cups leaned in, body still and soft. He jumped up toward the Assessor repeatedly during Tag, mouthing at her arms and legs, but calmed quickly once the play stopped. He nibbled at and then licked the Assessor’s hand during Paw Squeeze. Cups followed the food bowl with a tense body, lifting his head with pressure from the Assess-a-Hand. He played with and then relinquished the toy. When given a rawhide, Cups became tense and hunkered-down, though he did not turn his body away from the Assessor. During the second attempt to remove the rawhide, Cups muzzle punched the hand away and then air snapped. Cups is a young and high-energy dog who will need adopters willing to provide him with considerable mental and physical exercise daily, as well as guidance on appropriate human interaction. Due to the potential guarding behavior seen during SAFER, we recommend adopters familiar with guarding protocol and prepared to safely manage and positively modify the behavior should it appear in a home. Look: 1. Dog jumps up to lick the Assessor’s face with tail wagging, ears back and eyes averted. Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth.
