Date of intake:: 7/3/2025

Summary:: Jumping up on handlers, leash biting. When in care became tense with tucked tail

Date of initial:: 7/6/2025

Summary:: Jumps up on staff socially. Tense body for exam

ENERGY LEVEL:: Beans is described as active and enthusiastic. They will need daily mental and physical activity to keep them engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct their energy and enthusiasm. We recommend feeding with puzzle feeders and food-dispensing toys. And we recommend using force-free, reward-based training techniques for Beans.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 4

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to social hyperarousal and anxious behaviors we recommend an adult only home.

Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Social hyperarousal,Fearful,Anxiety,Leash-biting

Potential challenges comments:: Basic Manners: Beans previous owner states that Beans will jump up on people. While in care Beans has been observed to jump up on handlers with all four paws leaving the ground. 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. Social Arousal: Beans quickly becomes over aroused in the presence of people, jumping up and and whipping her head back and forth with an open mouth. Positive reinforcement, force-free training should be used to teach Beans to remain calm when people and other exciting things are around. Beans should be rewarded with treats when calm. If they escalate to jumping up, people should immediately walk away from and separate themselves from Beans. Please see handout on Arousal. Fearful: Beans has been observed to thrash while on leash and have a tense body and tucked tail. It is important to always go slow and give Beans the option to walk away from any social interaction. They should never be forced to approach anything that they are uncomfortable with or submit to petting or handling. It should always be their choice to approach a new person or thing. Beans would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to their new surroundings. Please see handout on Decompression Period. Anxiety: Beans has been observed to whine, pant, and vocalize loudly. If Beans displays anxious behavior in their future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving them other things to focus on to alleviate their anxiety. Positive reinforcement, force-free training should be used. Please see handout on Generalized Anxiety. Leash Biting: Beans has been observed to bite the leash. We recommend walking them with a toy to dissuade them from grabbing the leash. Positive reinforcement, force-free training is advised to teach them to focus on you rather than grabbing the leash. Please see handout on Leash Manners.
