06/20/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Fontina walks with a low fearful body language on leash. She was shy but friendly during the assessment – low body, but trying to stay close. Fontina was shy during handling with a fearful body language. She had a low body position during the tag test, but followed the assessor at the end of the leash. Fontina was not interested in food, toy or rawhide. The behavior department feels that she may do best with an experienced adopter. She is somewhat fearful and needs time to warm up to the handler.
