Lilac is muzzled before interacting off leash but displays the same reactive behavior- lunging, snapping and barking- towards the other dog even without a barrier. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 4/23/17: During her medical examination, Lilac was calm and allowed all handling.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) _X_No young children (under 5)-Lilac is reported to growl over toy resources. It is important to leave Lilac alone while she is playing and never to take anything directly from her mouth. When she is asked to drop something she should be traded for an item of equal or higher value, in order to reward Lilac for relinquishing the item she has. _X_Single-pet home/Recommend no dog parks: Due to Lilac’s reactivity towards other dogs, the Behavior Department recommends that she be the only resident dog at this time. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Lilac decrease her arousal level.
