09/01/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Isabella is fearful of the shelter environment he walks with a low and fearful body language. She was fearful and repeatedly attempted to get away from the handler during the assessment. Isabella became fearful while playing tag. She was not interested in food, toys or rawhide. Isabella does not approach other dog, attempts to exit. The behavior department feels that he may do best with an experienced adopter. Isabella is somewhat fearful and needs time to warm up to the handler. Isabella has been showing fearful behavior and avoids interaction in the care center. We cannot be certain if behavior may be suppressed as a result of the shelter environment. Please note that behavior may change when Rascal is more comfortable and settled in a home environment. We also recommend a home without children. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 2.
