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

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

Recommendations:: Single-pet home,Recommend no dog parks

Recommendations comments:: _X_ Single-pet home/Recommend no dog parks: Due to the concerning behaviors that Pumpernickel has shown during playgroup (see GROUPBEHAVIOR SUMMARY), we feel that Pumpernickel should not visit dog parks and be the only resident dog. The Behavior Department recommends that she be socialized in a more controlled setting until her behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Pumpernickel associate dogs with things he enjoys like toys or treats.
