Potential challenges:
Fearful
Potential challenges comments:

Fearful: Though observed to be human-social, Max may need time to warm up to the handler as he initially presents as a fearful dog, avoiding contact, shying away from direct touch. We recommend allowing Max to interact at his own pace, force-free, rewarding based training is advised when introducing him to new/unfamiliar situations.
