RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with a previous amount of dog experience) _X_No young children (under 5) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Molly has been observed to display fearful behavior during her stay at our care centers; at times will avoid interaction and shy away from direct-touch. Molly easily startles and is made uncomfortable by loud noises and sudden movement. We cannot be certain if any other behavior is suppressed as a result of this environment.

Molly has responded poorly to aversive training in the past; we recommend ONLY force-free, reward-based training as aversive methods increase fear and increase aggression.
