PLAYGROUP: Summary MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 11/14/16 During his initial medical exam Peppy Roman appeared nervous and allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience _X_No children (under 13)(See potential challenges) Potential challenges: _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression (Peppy Roman has been observed to display fearful behavior during his stay at our care centers; at times will avoid interaction and shy away from direct-touch. Peppy Roman easily startles and is made uncomfortable by loud noises and sudden movement and will display proper warning signals as well as increase distance from anything that may present a threat. We cannot be certain if any other behavior is suppressed as a result of his environment. A period of decompression is advised before introduction or exposure to new and unfamiliar situations. Force-free, reward based training is advised.)
