BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:ADULT ONLY HOME
Behavior Asilomar; TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:No young children (under 5)

Recommendations comments:No children: Due to the behavior seen in the care center, we feel that Colette may be intimidated by children. She needs a slow approach and time to warm up. She should never be forced to interact with new people, and should be allowed to greet and initiate an interaction at her own pace.

Potential challenges:Fearful
Potential challenges comments:Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Colette is reported to be fearful with new people and is fearful at the care center, having growled at handlers. It is important to always go slow and give Colette the option to walk away from any social interaction. Colette should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Colette’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Colette would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings.
