RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with some previous dog handling experience) Potential challenges: _X_Handling/touch sensitivity: Tyson was uncomfortable with handling during first attempt of paw squeeze. He pulled back his paw, but kept a soft body posture. Because he showed an uncomfortability with touch in certain area, it is important to be 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 Tyson to be more comfortable with this.
