05/26/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Gundee came to us as an owner surrender on 5/23/15. It was reported by the previous owner that Gundee has lived with 4 adults and 3 children; he is very gentle around the children and allows everyone to hold and handle him. In addition, the owner did state that does growl when you try to take his bone away which was consistent with SAFER results. When entering the behavior room Gundee has nervous body language and his tail is tucked. He allowed the assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items, but was tense a slightly trembling during some of these items. Gundee growled and bit the assess-a-hand during the food bowl test. He also showed some concerning behavior during the rawhide test – stiffening and growling, but did not snap at or bite the assess-a-hand. Due to Gundee’s potential for possessive behavior over food, and the rawhide items, the behavior department believes that Gundee would do best if placed with a rescue. The rescue should be able to provide resource behavior modification protocols, and we recommend teaching Gundee “Drop It” and trade-up games. Look: 2. Dog’s eyes are averted. His body posture is stiff 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 a bit stiff and trembling, mouth closed, lip long, ears back, may lip lick. Tag: 2. Dog is not fearful, but is unresponsive to the Assessor, and approaches the Assessor at the end of the game (needs coaxing to approach.) He is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor. Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2:1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Food: 5. Dog bites assess-a-hand. Toy: 1. Minimal interest. Dog smells, licks and mouths, then turns away. Rawhide: 4. Dog freezes and growls. Dog-Dog: When off leash with other dogs, Gundee is polite when greeting at the gate and has a wagging tail when he approaches in greeting. He is tolerant when solicited for play but does not reciprocate and instead explores the yard.
