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: Fearful
Potential challenges comments:
Tiger is a bit timid in the care center, moving slowly and cautiously. He would do best with a slow approach, preferably with treats, and being spoken to in a soft, gentle voice. Tiger should never be forced to submit to handling or petting when he is uncomfortable.
