Behavior Notes:
1/5 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: Brando
KNOWN HISTORY:
Abandoned at UPenn
KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Brando was in his kennel at the front with semi hard eye contact and tried to pus his head out a couple time. The handler leashed him and he tried to come out again and then calmed down. Once properly secured he came out with no issues.
LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls moderately
Did not want to return, bucking back, trying to flip, needs a running start, trail of treats, or under belly looping
HANDLING :
In the room, Brando was neutral and gave the occasional tail wag. He came up curiously and gave the handlers some treats. He sat very well and took treats gently. He was tolerant of all handling and other times would whip around. He would lean in for butt scratches but would give an occasional look (side eyes). The more the handler pet him, the more he allowed and the more tolerant he was with all over pets.
PLAY:
Engages in play – loses interest quickly
TOYS:
No interest
Per volunteer 1/4: “Brando is so easy going. He walked so well on a leash and likes treats but is gentle. He had a tight collar around his neck that he easily allowed me to remove. He knows sit. He appears to be medium to lower on the energy scale.
Behavior- he did resist kennel return. I used a trail of treats and then he was fine and I made him gold. He’s a VGB.”
Medical Notes:
Per an exam on 1/4: “Eyes have clear discharge, nose is red and looks irritated, tartar on molars, has fleas, bright, alert, responsive and friendly.“
