08/13/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Jacob was difficult to remove from his kennel showing teeth, and charging. He was fearful and attempted to get away from the handler during some items of the assessment. Jacob was shy and nervous during handling, with fearful body language. He became overaroused during the tag interaction, grabbing the leash (growling, body stiff, tail up) hard to distracted him. Jacob was uncomfortable during the paw items flipping his head and moving away with a bit stiff body language we decided to do the flank and Jacob was a bit stiff and he moved away from the assessor. He was a bit difficult to push out of the food bowl, but had soft body language. Jacob was not interested in toys or rawhide. He rushed in confidently towards the friendly dog body is tense, ears erect and high tail wag. According to medical staff “Jacob was also intolerant of handling during the medical exam he was fearful and became very tense”. The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home.
