Potential challenges: _X_Handling/touch sensitivity: Roger has growled and snapped when his paw were handled for a nail trim (per “KNOWN HISTORY”, showing an uncomfortability with touch in certain areas. It is important to avoid touching Roger’s paws at this time and being cautious when touching him in other areas as we do not know where he may have other sensitivities. Positive reinforcement, reward based training should be used to pair touch with good things such as food rewards in order to teach Roger to be more comfortable with this _X_Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Roger has snapped during his stay in our care centers when uncomfortable; guidance from a professional trainer/behaviorist is recommended to assess behavior after decompression in a new home environment.
