Eval Comments: \"The behaviors described today reflect the dog's responses in an Animal Care Center environment and during assessment. A
dog's behavior in an Animal Care Center may differ significantly from how they behave in a home. Stress, confinement, and unfamiliar surroundings can cause dogs to act out or suppress behaviors that may emerge later. A dog's behavior may change based on surroundings, training, medical, socialization, and life experiences.\"
He was easily collared by the runner in the catch pen. He entered the play yard with soft body language. He approached a male shepherd and greeted him with a tense body in a forward posture and a high stiff tail. He froze in this manner and hovered his muzzle near the other dog's neck. Ahandler used a spray bottle to break his focus and he walked away. He then approached a female Pitbull and displayed the same behavior. A handler again broke his focus using a spray bottle. He walked away and began to roam the yard to explore. He was tolerant of dogs trailing him to sniff him. Every time he approached a dog in the yard, he displayed the tense and challenging behavior mentioned earlier. Toward the end of his time in the yard, he was approached by a female Pitbull that stood next to him at the fence. He became tense with a forward posture and began to low growl. Ahandler broke his focus with a spray bottle, andhe was removed from the yard at this time. Due to his tense and challenging behavior toward all the dogs in the yard, requining constant supervision and intervention from the handlers, he would likely do best as an only dog in the home.
