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 young children (under 5)

Recommendations comments:: No young children: Due to potential resource guarding reported in her previous home, as well as fearful behavior seen at the care center, we recommend a home without young children.

Potential challenges: : Resource guarding,Fearful

Potential challenges comments:: Resource guarding: Tila’s previous owner notes that she may growl when her food bowl is touched. We recommend that Tila be left along while eating, and that food guarding behavior modification steps (available at ASPCApro.org) be utilized if this behavior is problematic in her future home. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Tila’s mouth, and any time something is removed she should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. She should be taught the “drop” cue and trade-up games. Fearful: Tila is a bit fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Tile the option to walk away from any social interaction. Tila should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Tila’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Tila would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings.
