Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Toby came to our center as an owner surrender on 8/18/2015. It is reported that Toby will bark and lunge at children, strangers, dogs, and cats, stiff body. Owner states Toby will bark, growl, snap and bite if anyone goes near his food, treats, bones, or rawhide. Owner reports he is very frightened of loud noises such as fireworks and thunder. During intake, Toby would bark with stiff body at admissions counselor that attempted to approach, owner had to collar. After owner left Toby would slowly approach admissions counselor and sniff but when hand was extended he would retreat and bark. Toby walked nicely on leash for his relief walk, no pulling. He calmly entered the SAFER assessment room and displayed none of the behaviors previously reported by owner. Toby allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, body neutral, panting. He stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, body neutral. Toby followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, unresponsive to the touch at each pass, settling easily at end. He did not pull his paw back during both Squeeze attempts. Toby calmly allowed Food bowl to be moved away, and lifted his head when assess-a-hand was softly applied to his cheek. He had minimal interest in Toy and Rawhide, sniffing/licking before turning away. When off leash with other dogs, Toby greets politely and is interested but does not engage in play. Based on Owner Surrender Profile, it would be best for Toby to be placed with a New Hope partner. He may benefit from a calm, quiet, structured environment where he knows what to expect and can relax in his new surroundings. Look: 1 Eyes are averted, ears are back, elaxed body posture. Dog allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.
