INTAKE BEHAVIOR 5/28/17 Frazzle allowed all handling. Counselor noticed he would try to nip hands when he wanted attention. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/28/17 Frazzle was and allowed all handling during his initial exam. ENERGY LEVEL: Frazzle displays a medium energy level during his stay in the care center. He may need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below). _X_No young children (under 5): Due to the mouthiness Frazzle displayed in the care center. We recommend a home with no young children.

Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control -While he applies only light pressure when taking treats, Frazzle was mouthy and is quick to put his teeth on skin. This is likely an poor impulse control, but it should be replaced with an alternative behavior as it can frighten people. We recommend teaching him to take treats with a soft mouth. _X__Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition- Frazzle has shown some mouthiness in the care center. Little pressure is applied, but this is a behavior that should be extinguished through training alternate behaviors and lack of reward (ex. walking away whenever Frazzles teeth make contact with skin).
