04/10/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Rosco pulls a bit on the leash. He was excited but very interested in interacting with handler during assessment – jumped up, licked hands and face. Rosco was excited during some of the handling items, but had soft body language. He engages in play, body is loose and wiggly, mouth open. Rosco approached other dog with friendly/playful body language. He showed some concerning behavior during the food, toy, and rawhide items with stiffening and growling body language. Due to the possession behavior seen in this assessment the behavior department recommends an adopter prepared to safely manage guarding behavior and to provide positive reinforcment-based modification should this behavior manifest in a home environment. In addition to possession guarding modification protocol we recommend teaching Rosco “Drop It” and trade-up games. Additionally, Rosco has a bite history that appears to have been triggered by loud noise or raised voices. For this reason the behavior department feels that Rosco would be best placed with a rescue who can explore these behaviors more thoroughly and can provide thorough counseling and any needed behavior modification before placement into a permanent home. Rosco was surrender to us. According to the owner he do not get along with children and strangers also he mentioned that Rosco do not like to be held”.
