Summary (1):  According to King’s previous behavior King relaxed and social with other dogs.

Date of intake:  1-May-2018
Summary:  Behavior unknown

Date of initial:  1-May-2018

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:  EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar; TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:  No young children (under 5)
Recommendations comments:  No young children: Due to potential resource guarding behavior with the toy item. King gave an appropriate warning of his discomfort (stiff) but we feel that young children may not know to respect this warning. Older, dog savvy children can be considered as long as the adults feel confident that King can be left alone while playing so he does not need to escalate to a growl. Behavior modification for toy guarding behavior can be found at aspcapro.org.
Potential challenges:  Resource guarding
Potential challenges comments:
Resource Guarding: King has been observed to become stiff over toys in the care center. It is important to leave King alone while he is playing and never to take anything directly from his mouth. When he is asked to drop something he should be traded for an item of equal or higher value, in order to reward King for relinquishing the item he has.
