Owner reports Jerry will guard his food and family, unpredictable behavior around strangers. Owner states Jerry will bark and growl at dogs, and does not get along with cats. With people Jerry is comfortable with, it is reported he loves to play and is very active. He is reportedly crate trained and housebroken. Owner reports Jerry pulls very hard on leash. In our center, Jerry has been very reactive while in his kennel, growling and snapping towards other dogs and people walking by. Off leash in the yard, Jerry growled at staff while being corrected. Due to staff being uncomfortable with handling, the tactile portion of the SAFER assessment was skipped. Jerry calmly allowed the Food bowl to be moved away, and required a bit of pressure to lift his head out of the Food bowl. He took Toy away, body not stiff. Jerry took Rawhide away, body a bit stiff. After assessment while in kennel, Jerry did take treats gently from assessor’s hand, body not stiff. Jerry must be placed with a New Hope partner that can monitor his behaviors and be prepared to modify any concerning behaviors that may manifest in the home. Food: 2. Dog follows the dish with his tail down. Dog lifts head after a bit of pressure from hand to cheek. Toy: 2. Dog takes toy away, keeps a firm hold. His body is between you and the toy, body neutral. No growling or stiffness. Rawhide: 2. Dog takes rawhide away, keeps a firm hold. His body is a bit stiff. dog-dog: When off leash with other dogs, Jerry was muzzled as per his profile, he appeared okay with female dog although he was quite preoccupied with the muzzle. He explored the yard without a muzzle and with the company of a female dog. When corrected by human handler to leave an area, Jerry escalated to human correction and began to growl at the handler. This happened again two more times uncorrected and unprovoked. Jerry was removed from the yard without any further introductions.
