12/24/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Turbo came to us as an owner surrender on 12/22/15. It was reported by the owner that Turbo is very playful and very exuberant when interacting with adults. The child in the home was afraid of Turbo so they did not interact. Turbo is reported to have a history of chewing household items such as walls and tiles. He should go to a home that can safely dog-proof these items in the home. We advise future adopters to make sure to provide mentally and physically stimulating toys to keep Turbo occupied when left alone. Turbo seemed to be very anxious and frustrated upon entrance to the behavior room. He was actively pulling the leash from the assessor very strongly throughout the assessment. Turbo appeared to constantly come to try and get closer to the assessor as well. He had stiff body language during both the sensitivity and squeeze test. During the tag interaction on the initial pass Turbo gave a quick growl at the assessor. Turbo was highly uncomfortable throughout the entire assessment and based on the behavior displayed the behavior department believes that Turbo should be placed with a rescue at this time that can provide any positive behavior modification necessary. Look: 3. Dog jumps on the Assessor, consistently rubs his shoulder on the Assessor, and will not allow Assessor to conduct the assessment. Sensitivity: 3. Dog is not fearful and is struggling to get away. The dog is not focused and is in constant movement, unconnected to the Assessor. Tag: 5. Dog growls. Squeeze 1: 3. Dog closes mouth, becomes stiff. Flank squeeze 1: 3. Dog closes mouth, begins to purse lips and becomes stiff Flank squeeze 2: 3. Dog closes mouth, begins to purse lips and becomes stiff Toy 1: 3.
