Potential challenges: : Resource guarding,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration,Anxiety,Basic manners/poor impulse control,Fearful,Handling/touch sensitivity,Destructive behavior

Potential challenges comments:: Resource Guarding: In his prior home, Burnaby is known to guard valuable items such as toys, food, and treats (bones, rawhides, etc.). While no specific reactions have been reported, caution should be taken as his reaction to attempts to touch or take these items is unknown. Training focused on resource exchange and desensitization can help manage and reduce this behavior. Destructive Behavior: Burnaby exhibits destructive behavior when left alone, chewing up shoes, clothes, blankets, socks, and his leash. Providing appropriate chew toys and mental stimulation can help redirect these behaviors. Creating a safe space for Burnaby with limited access to tempting items can also be beneficial. Basic Manners/Poor Impulse Control: Burnaby often jumps up on people, displaying poor impulse control. Consistent training using positive reinforcement can help him learn better manners and reduce this behavior. Teaching commands like "sit" and "stay" and rewarding calm behavior can improve his impulse control. Handling/Touch Sensitivity: Burnaby has displayed sensitivity to handling, likely due to cuts around his body. He flinches and pancakes when touched, indicating discomfort and fear. Gentle handling and gradual desensitization to touch can help him feel more secure. Providing positive experiences during handling can build his confidence. Fearful Behavior: In the care center, Burnaby has shown signs of fear, such as pancaking and exhibiting whale eye. Creating a calm and safe environment with minimal stressors will help him build confidence. Using positive reinforcement to reward calm behavior and gradually exposing him to new experiences can reduce his fearfulness. Anxiety: Burnaby has displayed anxious behaviors at the care center, including panting and lip licking. Providing a predictable routine and a quiet space can help manage his anxiety. Activities that promote relaxation, such as gentle play and interactive toys, can also help. On-Leash Reactivity/Barrier Frustration: Burnaby reacts to small animals (squirrels, birds, rats, etc.) during walks, often wanting to play. Using controlled exposure and positive reinforcement, Burnaby can be trained to remain calm and focused on walks. Engaging him in focus exercises and rewarding him for calm behavior can improve his leash manners.
