Not all handling items were able to be conducted as Oreo became stiff and growled at the assessor on the Look item. He displayed no interest in the toy resource item during this portion of the assessment. In light of this behavior we feel that placement with a rescue that can provide positive reinforcement-based behavior modification is the best option at this time. Look: 5. Dog freezes and growls.
