RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience Potential challenges: _X_Resource guarding (Hannah has been observed to show a potential concern for resource guarding; see SAFER assessment. Because her owner reports no issues regarding resource guarding in the home, the behavior department believes Hannah would benefit best from an experienced adopter who can potentially manage this behavior in a new home environment. We advise against ever removing items within Hannah’s possession without trading for something of equal/higher value. Force-free, reward based training only is advised when attempting to work/modify behavior.)
