Date of initial:: 10/27/2017
Summary:: Social, energetic, allowed all handling.
ENERGY LEVEL:: Static is described as active and exuberant. He will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm. We recommend feeding with puzzle feeders and food-dispensing toys. And we recommend only force-free, reward-based training techniques for Static.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No cats,Single-pet home,Recommend no dog parks
Recommendations comments:: No cats: Static is reported to play roughly with cats and therefore may be unsafe around cats. We strongly advise against placement into a home with cats or where he may come into contact with cats. _X_ Single-pet home/Recommend no dog parks: Due to the behaviors that Static has shown during playgroup, we feel that Static should not visit dog parks and be the only resident dog. The Behavior Department recommends that he be socialized in a more controlled setting until his behavior towards other dogs can be further addressed. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to help Static associate dogs with things he enjoys like toys or treats.
