Fearful: Lola's previous owner states that she is fearful of loud noises. Lola is observed to be very reluctant to allow collaring. Noted to retreat quickly from handlers and whip her head back and forth. It should always be their choice to approach a new person or thing.

Arousal/ Basic Manners: Lola's previous owner states that she will jump up often. Lola was observed to be very aroused during her assessment. Noted to be running around the room, persistently jumping up on handlers and being difficult to position.

If they escalate to jumping, people should immediately walk away from and separate themselves from Lola. Please see handout on Arousal. Please see handout on Basic Manners.
