04/17/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Pebbles was a bit difficult to remove from his kennel, she was in the back of the kennel with her tail tucked, body stiff. Once she was out walks calmly on leash. She was shy but friendly during the assessment – low body, but trying to stay close. Pebbles was shy during handling, but had soft body language. She was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. Peebles was not interested in food, toys or rawhide. She was relaxed when approaching a friendly dog, but was not playful. Pebble was surrender to us. According to her last owner she get along with children and strangers. The owner mentioned that she used to live with dogs and cats and she get along with them”. Pebble was shy during the assessment but she stays close to the assessor. The behavior department feels that she may do best with an experienced adopter. Peebles just needs time to warm up. We also recommend a home without young children; older children can be considered pending interaction. Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions. Sensitivity: 2. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, her eyes are averted, shy body language , mouth closed, lip long, ears likely 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 (may need coaxing to approach.) she is focused on stimuli other than the Assessor.
