BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),No cats,Single-pet home,Recommend no dog parks

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to multiple bite and fearful potential for defensive aggression we recommend an adult only home. No cats: Mister Mylo will react to cats, growling hard barking and lunging. Recommend a single pet home. Single-pet home: Although Mister Mylo has lived with another dog, he has redirected on his owner reacting towards an unfamiliar dog. We believe it would be best he is the only pet. Recommend no dog parks: Mister Mylo has been in an altercation with another dog. He should not visit the dog park.

Potential challenges: : Fearful,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Multiple-bite history/risk of future aggression,Anxiety,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration,Bite history (human),Bite history (dog)

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/Anxiety: Mister Mylo was reported to be fearful of loud noises, thunderstorms, fireworks, etc. Please see the handout on Fearful and Generalized Anxiety. Fearful Potential for Defensive Aggression: Mister Mylo gives clear warnings when he is uncomfortable and does seem to choose to avoid or retreat when given the opportunity, but if prevented from moving away there is a potential to escalate to higher-level warning behaviors and possible fear-based aggression. It is important to move slowly with Mister Mylo, to build positive associations (treats/toys/praise), and to allow him to initiate interactions with new people. He should never be forced to greet or to interact if she is not comfortable and soliciting attention. Please see handout on Fearful Potential for Defensive Aggression. Multiple-bite history/risk of future aggression Bite history (human): Mister Mylo has redirected, biting his owner when they were attempting to gain control of him while he was reacting to another dog. Please see handout on Bite history. Bite history (dog): Mister Mylo is reactive on leash. He was able to get off leash and got into an altercation with another dog. Please see handout on Bite history. On-Leash Reactivity: Mister Mylo has shown reactivity on leash towards people, dogs, other animals. He has redirected, biting his owner. He will need an experienced owner familiar with working with this behavior. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior.
