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

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

Potential challenges: : House soiling,Destructive behavior

Potential challenges comments:: House soiling:Red has reportedly not walked on leash in his previous home, so he has not learned to eliminate outside or in appropriate indoor spots. He will need guidance to learn where to eliminate in his new home. Destructive Behavior: Red is reported to show destructive behavior in the home, such as chewing on shoes. We are unaware of what, if any, attempts were made to remedy this behavior but we suggest to future adopters that Red will need to be provided with physical and mental stimulation and with a variety of appropriate and engaging chew toys so he can engage in necessary chewing behavior without further damage to human objects.
