ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Dee Dee so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: DeeDee has showed social behaviors towards both novice and familiar handlers, and seeks comfort from them when uncomfortable.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

Recommendations:: Single-pet home,Recommend no dog parks

Recommendations comments:: Single pet home/no dog parks: Due to Dee Dee’s high level of discomfort displayed while interacting with other dogs, a single pet home is recommended.

Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control

Potential challenges comments:: Basic manners/poor impulse control: It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach her to control her impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended.
