Date of intake:: 5/28/2025

Date of initial:: 5/29/2025

Summary:: Shy, timid, knows sit, shake, has manners, wagging tail,

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

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 4

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

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to on leash reactivity we recommend an adult only home. No Dog Parks: Due to on leash reactivity and snapping at another dog during their dog dog interaction we recommend no trips to the dog park. We recommend placement with a New Hope rescue partner who is able to provide an experienced, adult-only foster home. Force-free, reward based training and/or consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended.

Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Fearful,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:: Basic Manners: Stanley has been observed to jump up on handlers with a soft body. It is recommended that default behaviors such as "Sit" and "Off" are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach them to control their impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward-based training only is recommended. Please see handout on Basic Manners. Fearful: During his medical exams Stanley was described as timid, preferring contact on their own terms. It is important to always go slow and give Stanley the option to walk away from any social interaction. Stanley should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Stanley’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Stanley would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings. Please see handout on Decompression Period. On Leash Reactivity: Stanley has been observed to be highly kennel reactive. Pulling hard towards the other dogs and pushing off of the wall. Stanley 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.
