Exam Type BEHAVIOR

Charlie came into our center as an owner surrender after reportedly biting a family member (small child) on the mouth and nose. It is reported Charlie is shy and fearful around strangers and does not like to be near children. Behavior around other animals is unknown. Owner reports Charlie is not bothered if someone touches his Food, Toys, Treats. It is reported he will bark and growl if someone unfamiliar approaches the home. Owner reports he is housetrained to go outside on cement or grass, but may have accidents in the home if not walked regularly. During intake, Chalrie was somewhat tense with stiff body, trying to hide from staff whenever approached. He did not pull on leash for his relief walk. Charlie attempted to bite leash and collar while collaring to begin SAFER assessment, therefore all tactile portions of assessment were skipped. He showed minimal interest in Toy, though this may be due to environment as owner reports his favorite activity is to play fetch. He approached the helper dog confidently, ears forward, tail above spine level. Due to his bite history and attempts to bite during collaring, Charlie must be placed with a New Hope partner. He would benefit from a calm, quiet, structured environment with no sudden movements and loud noises. Toy: 1. Minimal interest in Toy, dog may smell and/or lick, then turns away. Dog-dog: 2. Dog approaches the helper dog, body soft, tail well above spine level, ears forward.
