Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition,Leash-biting,Low threshold for arousal

Potential challenges comments:: Basic Manners/Impulse Control: It is recommended that default behaviors such as "Leave it", "Sit/Stay", "Down" are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach Chewy to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended. Please see hand-out on Basic Manners and Impulse Control. Low-threshold for Arousal/ Leash Biting/ Mouthiness: Chewy quickly becomes over aroused in the presence of people, jumping up on handlers persistently throughout assessment and observed to frequently leash bite. During her stay in the care center Chewy has been obsvered to jump up on handlers often, mouthing their hands and pawing at their clothing. Positive reinforcement, force-free training should be used to teach Chewy to remain calm when people and other exciting things are around. He should be rewarded with treats when calm. If he escalates to jumping or mouthing, people should immediately walk away from and separate themselves from Chewy. Please see hand out on Arousal.
