BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: ADULT ONLY HOME

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to how uncomfortable Papo is currently with touch and novel stimuli, we feel that an adult-only home would be most beneficial at this time.

Potential challenges: : Fearful

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: Though observed to be human-social, papo may need time to warm up to the handler as he presents being a bit fearful and avoiding contact. We recommend allowing Papo to interact at his own pace, force-free, rewarding based training is advised when introducing him to new/unfamiliar situations.
