08/11/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Helper dog: A1046744 Smigeggie came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. At intake Smigeggie had tense body language and did not allow any handling. When attempting to take Smigeggie out of his kennel he would hard bark, bare his teeth and snap at the handler. During SAFER Smigeggie came into the assessment room calm, not all handling items were able to be conducted as Smigeggie lip curled at the assessor on the Look item. He displayed no interest in any of the resource items during this portion of the assessment. When on leash for a dog interaction with another dog on leash Smigeggie approach the helper dog with soft body and tail wag. In light of this behavior we feel that placement with a rescue who can provide positive reinforcement-based behavior modification is the best option at this time. Food: No interest Toy 1: No interest. Rawhide: 1. No interest. Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body not stiff, ears relaxed, and lip neutral.
