ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Jay Jay so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a medium level of activity. BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience) Behavior Asilomar H – Healthy Potential challenges: House soiling Potential challenges comments: House soiling: Jay Jay is reported to have frequent accidents in the house, and appears not to have been housetrained in the past. He will need guidance and consistency to learn to eliminate outside. We recommend crate training (the crate must be made positive and never used as a punishment), frequent walks, rewards for eliminating outside (treats, toys, games), consistent feeding schedule, and careful monitoring when inside. Accidents should never be punished as it can damage the human-dog relationship and is likely to make the problem worse. Other: Average Adoption Summary: Behavior Determination: Average
