Summary:: According to Jessie's previous owner(s), with familiar dogs she has no experience. With unfamiliar dogs on leash, she is playful and has no experience off leash with familiar dogs. 08/06/25 Jessie is introduced at the gate to a novel female dog while off leash at the care center. Jessie will solicit play at the gate offering bounces and play bows, as well as the female dog. Jessie is moved to the back of her pen, allowing the female dog inside to meet face-to-face. As Jessie approach, the female dog will allow sniffing as Jessie sniffs her. Jessie will immediately attempt to mount her, jumping onto her, making her visibly uncomfortable as she displays a hard face. The female dog will then snarl and snap at Jessie, but Jessie is quickly moved away. Jessie will lay down in appeasement as the female dog is guided out of the pen. This concludes the interaction. Due to entering the facility as a stray, there is no prior dog-to-dog history recorded. 06/23/25 Jessie is introduced at the gate to a novel male dog while off leash at the care center. Jessie will approach the gate to scent the novel male dog as does he, both standing adjacent from each other while behind the gate. Jessie displays a soft, wiggly frame as the novel male dog displays a neutral frame, remaining self-present. Jessie will muzzle lick the novel male dog through the gate before walking away. The novel male dog will solicit attention from the handler in Jessie's pen, ignoring her as she reapproaches the gate. Both dogs are returned to kennel, concluding the interaction.

Summary (5):: 8/25/25: Jessie is siting on her bed at the back of her kennel as handler approaches. She comes forward to the front and begins jumping at the door with heavy panting as the handler unlocks it. She is able to be clipped to her harness while being distracted with treats. She then launches out of kennel and begins jumping up and biting at the leash. She is able to be redirected when the handler tossed treats on the ground. She would go back to leash biting, so the handler had to toss treats a few times. She then launches herself forward and crashes into the kennel room exit door. She then pulls hard on the way outside to the yard. In the yard, she is able to run around in circles while on drag lead. She would engage in a game of fetch with treats and tennis balls. She would jump up on the handler with heavy panting for treats. She begins hard barking at a man that was fixing something in the back pens. She is unable to be redirected. When exiting the pen, she continued to bark while pulling towards the man with a tense body. She is able to be taken away and returned back to her kennel with no issues. 08/21/25 (Trainer Note): Jessie is at the front of her kennel as the handler approaches. Her harness is easily clipped and she walks to the Live Room. When inside, Jessie is loose and wiggly and the handler continues to strengthen the 123 game with her. Jessie will sniff around the room and look to the handler as they say the word three. Jessie is taken through the corridor where the handler briefly pauses upon seeing another staff member. A third male staff member is behind, Jessie will growl and chuff at the male staff member, the handler uses the 123 game to move Jessie so they can safely pass. The handlers take Jessie outside and Jessie is pulling strongly. The handler uses the 123 game to keep Jessie close by and prevent her from pulling further. Jessie continues to orient to the handler on the word three as they re enter building and she is safely returned to her kennel.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to Jessie's social hyper arousal, leash biting, and lack of manners, we recommend that she be placed in an adult-only home. Place with a New Hope partner: Due to Jessie's social hyper arousal, leash biting, and lack of manners, we recommend she is placed with one of our New Hope Partners.

Potential challenges: : House soiling,Basic manners/poor impulse control,Social hyperarousal,Fearful,Leash-biting,Strength/leash pulling

Potential challenges comments:: House soiling: Jessie is noted in the prior home to have house soiling. Training should focus on establishing a consistent bathroom routine, close supervision indoors, and rewarding outdoor elimination to reinforce appropriate habits. Please see the handout on house soiling. Basic manners/poor impulse control: Jessie jumps up often when seeking treats or attention from handlers. It is recommended that default behaviors such as "Leave it", "Sit/Stay", "Down" are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach her to control her impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended. Please see handout on Basic manners/poor impulse control. Social hyperarousal | Leash Biting: Jessie quickly becomes over-aroused in the presence of people, jumping up and begins leash biting once aroused. Positive reinforcement, force-free training should be used to teach Jessie to remain calm when people and other exciting things are around. She should be rewarded with treats when calm. Please see handout on Arousal. Fearful: It was reported in the prior home that Jessie displayed fearful behavior when startled. A training plan should include confidence-building exercises, gradual desensitization to triggers, and creating a calm, predictable environment to help her feel more secure. Please see the handout on decompression period. Strength/leash pulling: Jessie is noted in the prior home to pull hard on the leash while on walks.Training should focus on loose-leash walking techniques, using appropriate equipment like a front-clip harness, and reinforcing calm walking behavior to improve leash manners and reduce pulling. Please see the handout on Strength/leash pulling.
