ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Oren so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, 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.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 3

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No Children: Due to Oren's fearful disposition and need for contact on his own terms, we recommend a home with no children.

Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:: Handling Sensitivity/Fearful/Potential for defensive Aggression: During his assessment it was noted that Oren would display fearful behavior becoming tense and whale eyeing, Oren was also reported to growl during handling with medical. Oren should never be forced to interact, he should always be given the opportunity to walk away from situations or people he finds uncomfortable. We recommend a slow approach and we recommend ONLY force-free, reward-based training methods for Oren. More aversive techniques are likely to increase fear, increase the risk of aggression, and decrease Oren's quality of life. Please see handout on Fearful and Defensive Aggression. On Leash Reactivity: It is reported that Oren is highly dog reactive. Pulling hard towards other dogs in the kennel room. Oren will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach them to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness to help manage this behavior. Please see handout on On Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration.
