Date of intake:: 5/25/2024

Summary:: Nervous, seeking attention

Date of initial:: 5/25/2024

Summary:: Allows all handling, periodic lip licking

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Moo so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in addition to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

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

Recommendations comments:: No young children (under 13): Due to becoming increasingly mouthy with familiar handlers and on leash reactivity we recommend an adult only home. Place with a New Hope partner: Due to all noted concerns displayed in the Care Center environment, the behavior department recommends Moo be placed with a New Hope placement partner who is able to provide an experienced adult-only foster home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Moo to acclimate comfortably to her new environment; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing Moo to new and unfamiliar situations.

Potential challenges: : Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration,Bite history (human)

Potential challenges comments:: Mouthiness: Moo has been observed to jump up and mouth handlers with light pressure. We recommend never playing with bare hands, always with a toy, and ending play or attention whenever Moo puts teeth on skin. They should be rewarded with attention and treats when they stop and/or when they are seeking attention in alternate ways. Please see handout on Mouthiness. Fearful Defensive: Moo has been observed to growl and hard bark when fearful. It is important to move slowly with Moo, to build positive associations (treats/toys/praise), and to allow Moo to initiate interactions with new people. She should never be forced to greet or to interact if she is not comfortable and soliciting attention. Please see handout on Fearful and Defensive Aggression. On Leash Reactivity: Moo has been observed to become tense and lunge at dogs while on leash. Moo 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. Bite history (human): When being returned to her kennel Moo redirected and bit a staff member on his thigh. Please see the handout on Bite History.
