Date of intake:: 4/12/2025

Summary:: Jumping up on handler, biting the leash, reported to be friendly

Date of initial:: 4/13/2025

Summary:: More interested in exploring environment than in people

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Jackie 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 additional to physical exercise, to positively direct their energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to lack of basic manners and on leash reactivity we recommend a home with no children. We recommend placement with a New Hope rescue partner who is able to provide an experienced, adult-only foster home. Force-free, reward based training and/or consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended.

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

Potential challenges comments:: Basic Manners: Jackie has been observed to jump up on handlers. 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: Jackie has been observed to baulk when returning to kennel. It should always be their choice to approach a new person or thing. Jackie 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. On Leash Reactivity: Jackie has been observed to cage fight intensely while leaving the kennel room. Planting her feet against the wall and pushing off. While cage fighting Jackie has been observed to make contact with the handlers leg. After leaving the kennel room Jackie has been observed to repeatedly jump up on the handler with an open mouth. This behavior was not able to be redirected easily. Leash Biting: During intake Jackie was reported to jump up and bite the leash. During her stay in the care center Jackie has also been observed to snap at the leash while in the elevator. 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.
