Date of intake:: 3/12/2025

Summary:: Tucked tail

Date of initial:: 3/12/2025

Summary:: Tense but allows handling with slow approach

ENERGY LEVEL:: Anubis 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 Anubis.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 3

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Recommend no dog parks

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to resource guarding, and fearful behavior we recommend an adult only home. Recommend no dog parks: Due to hard barking, growling, and lunging towards unfamiliar dogs, we recommend no trips to the dog park.

Potential challenges: : House soiling,Resource guarding,Basic manners/poor impulse control,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Separation anxiety,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:: House Soiling: Anubis' previous owners state that he will very rarely have accidents in the home. We recommend positive reinforcement, reward-based training only. Accidents should never be punished as this will likely make the problem worse. Please see handout on House Soiling. Resource Guarding: Anubis' previous owners state that he will become tense and hover over toys, food, and treats that are in his possession. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Anubis' mouth, and any time something is removed they should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. Please see handout on Resource Guarding. Basic Manners: Anubis' previous owners state that he will jump up often or non stop. 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. Fearful Defensive: Anubis' previous owners state that he will hard bark and growl towards strangers. During his stay in the care center Anubis has also been observed to be fearful. Noted to have a tense body and tucked tail. It is important to move slowly with Anubis, to build positive associations (treats/toys/praise), and to allow them to initiate interactions with new people. They should never be forced to greet or to interact if they are not comfortable and soliciting attention. Please see handout on Fearful and Defensive Aggression Separation Anxiety: Anubis' previous owners state that he will become anxious when left alone. We recommend that potential adopters feel comfortable with separation anxiety behaviors and be prepared to manage and positively modify them should they appear in a home environment. They would do best in a home where a person is home for a large part of the day or with a plan so they are not alone for long periods of time. Please see handout on Separation Anxiety. On Leash Reactivity: Anubis' previous owners state that he will hard bark, growl, and lunge towards dogs while on leash. They also state he will bare teeth, lift his lip, lunge, growl, and hard bark towards strangers that approach. Anubis will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach them to look at you rather than dogs and other stimuli. We recommend a front clip harness to help manage this behavior. Please see handout on On Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration.
