PLAYGROUP: Summary MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 1/14/17 During his initial medical exam Hot Dog was social and active and allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Hot Dog so we cannot be certain of his/her behavior in a home environment. Hot Dog displayed high energy and movement throughout the assessment, he is a young, energetic, social dog. Hot Dog will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his/her energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced, adult only home _X_No children (under 13): (Due to Hot Dog’s bite history, as well as his display of resource guarding behavior on his assessment, we recommend a home without children.) Potential challenges: _X_Resource guarding (Hot Dog displayed a potential for resource guarding by growling when in possession of the toy on his assessment. We advise against ever removing items from Hot Dog’s possession without safely trading for an item or greater or equal value. Guidance from a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended to aid in safely managing/modifying this behavior in a new home environment.We cannot be certain whether any guarding or possessive behavior may appear in a home environment, but we recommend adopters comfortable with safe management and modification of guarding behavior in case it does.)
