Recommend muzzle due to pain. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Jerome so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. Jerome displayed low energy and movement throughout assessment. We recommend feeding with puzzle feeders and food-dispensing toys. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below) _X_Single-dog home/Recommend no dog parks- Due to Jerome’s display of low sociability towards another dog –snapping at her- the Behavior Department recommends that Jerome be the only resident dog until his behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Jerome associate other dogs with things he likes, such as treats.
