SAFER ASSESSMENT: 11/28/16

Summary: Ramen growled and snapped when collaring was attempted; Tactile portions of the assessment were not conducted. Ramen may require positive based behavior modification to address any potential guarding issues that may appear in a new home environment.

PLAYGROUP:
Ramen greets other small dogs through a barrier with a loose body and wagging tail.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 11/22/16
During his initial medical exam Ramen appeared nervous and was growling and snapping.

ENERGY LEVEL:

RECOMMENDATIONS: New Hope Only
_X_No children (under 13)
_X_Place with a New Hope partner (Ramen would benefit best from placement with a New Hope rescue group who can further assess this behavior in a stable environment)
Potential challenges:
_X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression  (Ramen has been observed to snap when frightened/stressed. It is recommended that Ramen be allowed a proper time to decompress to aid in acclimating him to a new environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing/exposing Ramen to new and unfamiliar situations.)
_X_Resource guarding
