RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with behaviors outlined below) X_No young children (under 5): Due to reported food guarding in the home, we recommend a home without young children. Potential challenges: _X_Resource guarding: Mota’s previous owner notes that he may growl when his food or treats are touched. We recommend that Mota be left along while eating, and that food guarding behavior modification steps (available at ASPCApro.org) be utilized if this behavior is problematic in his future home. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Mota’s mouth, and any time something is removed he should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. He should be taught the “drop” cue and trade-up games.
