11/01/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Little Riddler is no comic book villain! She’s a real life little pup who may be more obsessed with squeaky toys than puzzles. Riddler is full of fun and energy and when she gets a bout of a zoomie her floppy ears go side to side and her tail wags a mile a minute. For such a young girl, she seems like she has been housetrained, and though she can be a little pully on the leash, has had some leash training too. She knows “sit,” but will need to be taught more commands and can be mouthy at times so she’ll need plenty of toys and appropriate things to chew on at home! Like any puppy, Riddler will need an owner who has the patience and time to train a young dog, but will repay you with all the kisses you can handle! If you’re up to the task, ask to meet her today!

In groups of calm male and female dogs, Riddler displays bouncy body language when she is solicited to play. She never fully engages in play and mostly seeks handler interaction. The Behavior Department recommends that Riddler be placed with dogs that match her calm sociability. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 10/24/16 During her initial medical exam Riddler was a bit tense but allowed all handling. ENERGY LEVEL: Riddler has a high activity level in the care center. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience Potential challenges: _X_Basic manners/Poor impulse control (It is recommended that default behaviors such as “Leave it”, “Sit/Stay”, “Down” are reinforced to substitute frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training is recommended.) _X_Mouthiness/Poor bite inhibition (Decreasing the force of the mouth as well as the frequency of mouthing, in this order is recommended by using force-free, reward based training as well to reinforce a soft appropriate mouth and redirect hard inappropriate mouthing onto toys.)
