07/29/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
07/29/15 17:20 When Django is with his owner he likes to stay in the same room and will follow his owner around the house. Django’s favorite spot is the living room and he likes to sleep in his owner’s room. Django was nervous and demonstrated reactive behavior throughout the Intake process. Django was muzzled and he growled and lunged at people. Django was also nervous hiding between his owner’s legs and pacing often.

WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes:  Django is an adorable, playful, and very cuddly little guy!  Django’s previous owner reports that he can be very reactive to strangers.  The first time I took him out it he acted like we’d known each other forever, but I have seen this first hand on a few occasions when we’ve passed certain people on the street.  However, I have also seen him be very appropriate when approaching or being approached by strangers.  He has never reacted to people we’ve been near that are accompanied by another dog and waits patiently when I stop to talk to another volunteer or staff members.  He pulls on the leash if it is just around his neck, but walks very nicely on a harness.  If I carry a toy on our walk he seems too preoccupied with it to focus on passersby.  He LOVES toys and I could watch him play for hours!  He’ll throw it for himself, stand up and spin on his two hind legs while batting at the toy in his mouth with his two front paws, proudly prance around with it, and even drop it in my lap so I can toss it for him!  Django seems housebroken and treat motivated (he responds to “sit”).  When there’s been another dog in the pen adjacent to us or we’ve encountered another on the street he seems very friendly and appropriate.  He is super cuddly and channels a puppy with his displays of affection!  When I’m sitting on the bench he will literally crawl into my lap and let me pet him all over.  He lets me pick him up, will sit at my feet, and even rolls over for belly rubs.  When his favorite staff member joined us in the pen Django bounced back and forth between us and seemed super excited to get a double dose of attention.  Django may need more socialization so that he can be comfortable in new situations, but once he knows you, there’s no better company!!  He really has a wonderful spirit, seems to bond quickly, and is very fun to be with.

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Helper Dog: A1045636 The owner reports that Django has been displaying concerning behaviors since the age of 6motnths old; barking and growling at strangers, and is now becoming worse over time. The owner states Django will bark and lunge at strangers, friends, and family members as well. It was mentioned that Django has not been socialized with cats or children, but has been socialized with adults and the owner stated Django has a hard time adjusting to being around anyone who is not his family. It was also mentioned that Django has been socialized with other dogs and has been described as being playful respectful and tolerant of other dogs, and will play with dogs in a gentle and tolerant way. The owner stated Django can be hard to control and barks too much when nervous or in situations he does not like. Django has not been given a bath and will also struggle when he is having his nails trimmed. According to the owner Django is not bothered if you take his food or toys away, and he was said to be crate trained as well as housebroken. At intake it was noted that Django was not receptive to introductions from the counselor, and barked and lunged at anyone near him. It was also reported that Django was tense during his medical exam and growled and lip curled at the technician. During SAFER Django was loose when approaching the assessor, but became stiff and lip curled when an attempt was made to clip the leash onto his collar. Due to this behavior and safety concerns, no handling items were attempted at this time. During the resources portion of the assessment Django was not interested in any of the items, and during the dog-dog interaction Django was relaxed when approaching the helper dog and appeared to be interested in interacting. The department recommends placement with a New Hope partner who can provide positive reinforcement behavior modification work to address the behaviors displayed while in the care center as well as in the previous home. Food: No interest Toy 1: No interest. Rawhide: 1. No interest. Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body not stiff, ears relaxed, lip neutral.
