Date of intake:: 6/14/2025

Summary:: Fearful, allowed leashing and handling

Date of initial:: 6/15/2025

Summary:: Tense; not interested with treats; growling; long stare

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Harrison 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:: Level 4

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to fearful behavior we recommend an adult only home.

Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:: Basic Manners: Harrison has been observed to jump up on handlers once warming up to them. 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: Harrison has been observed to have a tense body, tucked tail and will hard stare and bare teeth towards handlers. When leashed Harrison has been observed to thrash on leash. It is important to move slowly with Harrison, 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. On-Leash reactivity: Harrison has been noted to charge towards pop-up crates while moving through the Care Center. He is also have been noted to lunge at people while on leash. Harrison may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach him to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior. Please see handout on On-Leash Reactivity
