He is anxious around another male, and ignores him most of the session. Prince Charming offers appropriate corrections when he is uncomfortable with a behaviors. Prince Charming was brought in as a stray so his past behavior with other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Prince Charming be placed in a home with resident dogs that match his energy and play style. 10/10: Prince Charming initially nervous, displaying a low body. He is tolerant of the other novel female dog’s muzzle licking. As the session continues he engages in bouts of play with her. He becomes anxious, and is slightly uncomfortable with a novel male dog.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)

Potential challenges: : Anxiety,Strength/leash pulling,Kennel presence

Potential challenges comments:: Anxiety:- Prince Charming has shown some signs of potential anxiety in the care center, vocalizing (whining, yarning) continually through the SAFER and through play sessions outside. This behavior was not reported at intake, and we have no known history on Prince, so we cannot be certain whether similar behavior will be seen in a future home environment. Strength/Leash pulling:- Prince Charming is a large, strong dog with the capability to pull over an average adopter. His adopter must be prepared and able to handle a dog of this size and strength. It is recommended that he be walked on a front clip harness or head halter, which help diminish his strength through leverage, and that he be trained using positive reinforcement, reward based training to not pull on leash. Kennel presents:- While we cannot be certain if this behavior will appear in any other contexts, in highly emotionally charged or stressful environments Prince Charming may show behavior similar to what he is currently demonstrating in his kennel (growling and hard barking when his kennel is approached). We recommend potential adopters be comfortable managing this behavior and keeping themselves safe in any similar future situations.
