While leaving the building to the yard, he constantly looked back at the staff member while pulling hard on the leash. In the yard, Cub Scout was whale-eyeing towards the staff member and began to head-whip when they attempted to touch him. To not stress him further, they backed away and sat on the yard bench. Cub Scout began to hard stare at staff member from across the yard and refused to approach, huffing occasionally. Due to Cub Scout seeming unwilling to come forward, another staff member was asked to assist. A familiar staff member entered the yard and Cub Scout was immediately social and bouncy with them.

Date of intake:: 8/9/2026

Summary:: anxious, seeking attention

Date of initial:: 8/10/2026

Summary:: friendly , tolerate all handling

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 4

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to increased reactivity towards unfamiliar people, we recommend a home with no children.

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

Potential challenges comments:: Basic Manner/Impulse Control: Cub Scout lacks basic manners and impulse control. It is recommended that default behaviors such as "Leave it", "Sit/Stay", "Down" are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward-based training only is recommended. Please see the handout on Basic Manners and Impulse Control. Anxiety: Cub Scout appears anxious at the care center, remaining curled up, sometimes shaking in kennel. If Cub Scout displays anxious behavior in his future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving him other things to focus on to alleviate his anxiety. Positive reinforcement, force-free training only should be used. Please see the handout on Generalized Anxiety. On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Cub Scout has begun to deteriorate in care. When being walked on the street, he has begun to react to unfamiliar people, barking, lunging. Cub Scout is also reacting to the neighboring dogs. This is likely due to barrier frustration. Please see handout on On-Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration.
