MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Date of initial 7/7/2017 During her initial medical exam, Sophie was mostly social though became tense at times, allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially in the behavior outlined below) Potential challenges:? _X_Strength/leash pulling – Sophie is a strong dog with the capability to pull over an average adopter. Her adopter must be prepared and able to handle a dog of this size and strength. It is recommended that she be walked on a front clip harness or head halter, which helps diminish her strength through leverage, and that she be trained using positive reinforcement, reward based training to not pull on leash.
