He will approach the fence with a loose wiggly body and high wags and is non reactive to the other dog but does not stay at the fence for nose to nose interactions for a long enough time, as he is consistently distracted and engaging with his handler.

He shakes off and is loose with wide mid level wags and an open panting mouth. He approaches the other dog but will tense when the other dog playfully spins. The other dog solicits play and Mylo huffs with hackles raised and a flagged tail. The other dog bounces towards him and Mylo stands on his hind legs on the other dog while guttural growling.

Date of intake:: 8/30/2026

Summary:: Allowed leashing and handling

Date of initial:: 8/30/2026

Summary:: Soft body for exam

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Mylo so we cannot be certain of their behavior in a home environment. However, they will need daily mental and physical activity to stay engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in addition to physical exercise, to positively direct their energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 2

Recommendations:: No young children (under 5),Recommend no dog parks

Recommendations comments:: No young children (under 5): Due to poor impulse control, we recommend a home with no young children. Recommend No Dog Parks: Due to the concerning behaviors that Mylo has shown during playgroup (see DOG-DOG SUMMARY), we feel that he should not visit dog parks. The Behavior Department recommends that he be socialized in a more controlled setting until his behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Mylo associate dogs with things he enjoys like toys or treats.

Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control

Potential challenges comments:: Basic Manners: Mylo has been observed to jump up on handlers in a social manner. 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.
