09/05/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Walt came in as a stray, so his past behaviors in a home are unknown. At intake Walt was calm and quiet, he was friendly toward the counselor, and he allowed all handling. During SAFER Walt came into the assessment room calm and relaxed, he was friendly and social towards the assessor, allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Walt was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resources portion of the assessment Walt was easy to handle when engaged with the items. Walt appears to be sociable, and did not display any behaviors concerns, so the department feels he can be suitable for an “Average” adopter. 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, his eyes are averted, his tail is between his legs, body tense, and mouth closed. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft. Squeeze 1: 2. Dog quickly pulls back his paw. Squeeze 2:2. Dog quickly pulls back his paw. Food: 1. No interest. Toy 1: No interest. Rawhide: 1. No interest. Dog-to-dog: When off leash with other dogs, Walt is tolerant of interaction but spends most of his time exploring his surroundings.
