Summary (6):: 01/28/25 (Trainer Note): Reese's Puffs is chewing on his tail in kennel as the handler approaches. He is easily leashed and pulls hard to the canine training room. Reese's allows the handler to attach a drag leash and explores the room. He participates readily in the various enrichment items, orienting towards the handler and breathing between each item. Handler then moves him over to the mat and reinforces with the up/down game for breathing and maintaining duration. Reese's is easily leashed and pulls hard back to kennel.

Summary (7):: 1/21 (PM): ACS staff tells a handler that they saw Reeses Puff spinning in circles and gnawing on his tail in his kennel while they doing their evening room check. 01/21/25 (Trainer Note): Reese's Puffs is spinning in kennel as the handler approaches. Handler calls his name and he stops, coming to the front. He is easily leashed and pulls moderately to the canine training room. He is initially panting with dilated pupils and uninterested in treats. Handler offers a few different varieties until he takes one from their hand. He is then able to engage in the enrichment items, then orient between items. Handler then pulls him away from the enrichment and reinforces for taking a breath. He is then guided back to the enrichment and the handler reinforces him for orienting and taking a breath between enrichment items. He Reese's Puffs is returned to kennel without issue. 1/13/25: A staff member reports they fell over while walking Reese's Puff and he proceeded to try to nip their arm. The staff member showed handler some saliva on their shirt sleeve but no injury to the arm. They reported they immediately stood back up and Reese's did not persist in trying to bite them but did mildly leash bite. 1/12/25: Reese's Puffs jumped on kennel door when handler approached. He stood on all fours as he was leashed and walked the short distance to the BA room with moderate pulling. He was clipped to a drag leash and relieved himself in the room. Reese's was disinterested in playing fetch with a soft, squeaker toy. Reese's Puffs was highly treat motivated and calmly engaged with enrichment puzzles including a snuffle mat and lick mat. He was social with handlers and would demand bark when they stopped offering treats. Handlers noticed Reese's Puffs' tail was wet as if recently chewed on, and he had a small amount of dried blood on his face beside his eyes. Reese's Puffs was returned to kennel with ease. 1/7/25: Reese's Puff is sitting in the back of his kennel barking as the handler approaches. When the handler speaks to him, he loosely comes to the front, jumping on the door and wagging his tail. He continues to jump on the door as the handler leashes him. When exiting the kennel, Reese's Puff sniffs the floor looking for treats while pulling hard. In the room, he is social with the handlers as he seeks treats. After his assessment, he is easily leashed and returned to his kennel. 1/6/25 Reeses Puff's dog reactivity is reported as well as witnessed by handler. Reeses Puff will hard bark and lunge at passing dogs while on leash. Reeses will hard bark at a distance at other dogs with novel handlers.

Potential challenges: : Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Anxiety,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration,Low threshold for arousal

Potential challenges comments:: Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition- During the assessment treats are tossed due to him taking treats roughly. Teaching him to take treats gently by rewarding calm behavior and using a clicker or marker word can help. Please see handout on Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Reeses Puff will hard bark and lunge at passing dogs while on leash.To address Reeses Puff's on-leash reactivity and barrier frustration, start by creating positive associations with passing dogs. Begin at a distance where he remains calm and reward him with treats and praise for relaxed behavior. Gradually decrease the distance over time. Practice focus exercises, like "watch me," to keep his attention on you. Please see the handout on On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration. Anxiety: Reeses Puff began to display heavy panting and lip licking during his assessment. Managing his anxiety will require creating a calm environment, providing enrichment activities, and using stress-reducing techniques like puzzle toys and regular exercise. Please see handout on generalized anxiety.
