05/14/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: What’s not to like about Katniss? She is Life in person, ready for all adventures. She embodies Beauty too with her small, compact and perfectly made little self topped with the most lovely and lively head. She has such sparkling eyes, a giant smile that splits wide her face, a hopeful and candid look and a strong desire to have fun and be in the company of people and dogs alike. Indeed, Katniss is a star in playgroups. She is having such a ball, running in unison with other pooches. She accomodates the rowdy ones and the quiet ones, boys and girls… she is really great! Together, in a pen, we are having a great time too. Katniss likes to jump high, for a toy or a treat and of course, this is her only little flaw that will have to be curbed. She sits beautifully on command, her face full of expectation… for what ever you have in store for her. She leaps after the ball and brings it back each time toward me. I can extract it from her mouth… no problem. I really enjoy my time with Katniss, every time. She is a pleasure for the eyes and a ball of fun and love. Do come and meet her. She will make a most awesome forever best friend. Katniss is at the Manhattan Care Center awaiting her new master and teacher.
05/12/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Katniss pulls hard on the leash. She was excited but very interested in interacting with handler during assessment – jumped up. Katniss was excited during some of the handling items, but had soft body language. She was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. Katniss was a bit difficult to push out of the food bowl, but had soft body language. She was not interested in toys but took the rawhide away but had soft body language. Katniss is an active dog she need a significant amount of exercise and mental stimulation.
