He is leashed without issue and taken to the street for his walk. Once outside Rey uses the bathroom and is walked out past the driveway gate onto the street. He begins to hyper fixate on the opposite side of the street and will attempt to pull towards it. He is redirected with a treat and continues walking until he begins to pull forward hard at random. Rey pulls forward hard so handler stops and places him on a slip lead harness which immediately helps alleviate his pulling. Rey begins to ignore treats during his walk and when spotting a dog will stare with a stiff body at them. He is not redirected with treats or a squeaker and finally refocuses after the dog is out of view. Rey walks for a while outside before being returned to the building and back into kennel without issue. 10/20/24: Rey is standing in the front of his kennel as handler approaches. He is leashed and brought to the street for his walk, along the way he pulls moderately to get to the street.

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Rey so we cannot be certain of their behavior in a home environment. However, they will need daily mental and physical activity to stay engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct their energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 4

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to fearful behavior we recommend a home with no children.

Potential challenges: : Resource guarding,Fearful,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:: Resource Guarding: Rey has been observed to growl and bare teeth when a handler offers him a food enrichment item. We recommend that Rey be left alone while eating, and that food guarding behavior modification steps (available at ASPCApro.org) be utilized if this behavior is problematic in their future home. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Rey's mouth, and any time something is removed they should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. Please see handout on Resource Guarding. Fearful: Rey has been observed to be fearful during his stay in shelter. Rey has been observed to have a tense body and tucked tail, when handlers approach Rey has been observed to keep distance and seek exit. It is important to always go slow and give Rey the option to walk away from any social interaction. They should never be forced to approach anything that they are uncomfortable with or submit to petting or handling. It should always be their choice to approach a new person or thing. Rey would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to their new surroundings. Please see handout on Decompression Period. On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Rey has been reported to immediately engage in cage fighting upon leaving his kennel, and he shows high reactivity toward other dogs when they bark at him in the shelter. Additionally, he intensely pulls when seeing dogs outside the shelter and continues seeking for the dog when they are out of view. Please see handout on on-leash reactivity/barrier frustration.
