Date of intake:: 12/18/2024

Summary:: Relaxed body wagging tail

Date of initial:: 12/18/2024

Summary:: Allows handling but needs slow approach, warms up over time

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Rose Bud 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 3

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Recommend no dog parks

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to fearful behavior we recommend a home with no children. Recommend no dog parks: Due to the concerning behaviors that Rose Bud has shown during playgroup (see DOG-DOG SUMMARY), we feel that Rose Bud should not visit dog parks. The Behavior Department recommends that she be socialized in a more controlled setting until her behavior toward other dogs can be further addressed.

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

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: Rose Bud has been observed to be fearful during her stay in the care center. Noted to have a low body and tucked tail while interacting with handlers. It should always be their choice to approach a new person or thing. Rose Bud 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: Rose Bud has been observed to become tense and stare at dogs while on leash. This behavior is able to be redirected easily. Rose will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach them to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness to help manage this behavior. Please see handout on On Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration.
