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 behavior seen in the care center, we feel that Lala may be intimidated by young children. She needs a slow approach and time to warm up. She should never be forced to interact with new people, and should be allowed to greet and initiate an interaction at her own pace. Potential challenges: _X_Fearful: The behavior department recommends allowing Lala to approach her potential new adopters at her own pace. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing/exposing Lala to new and unfamiliar situations.
