SAFER Summary:: Basquiat
#approached the assessor with a
#soft body. He was a bit distracted during the assessment, sniffing around the room, but also showed
#social behavior. He allowed all handling and displayed NO concerning behaviors.
Potential challenges: : ON-LEASH REACTIVITY / BARRIER
#frustration . At ACC Basquiat has been observed to
#react to other dogs ON LEASH, LUNGING towards them, BARKING and GROWLING. Basquiat 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.
