MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 07/22/17 During his initial medical examination, BJ was tense and snapped. ENERGY LEVEL: BJ is reported to have a high energy level in a home environment.

RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only _X_No children (under 13) _X_Place with a New Hope partner: BJ has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home. Potential challenges: _X_Handling/touch sensitivity _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Though he has improved during his stay at our care centers, BJ continues to give all appropriate warning signals when uncomfortable. Due to the consistent behavior displayed in shelter, the behavior department recommends an experienced adult home only until he can acclimate to his new home environment for the behavior to be further assessed. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is advised; force-free, reward based training only is recommended.
