Date of initial:: 11/14/2025

Summary:: Wiggly and seeking attention, tense for exams/tasks allows muzzling and handling

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Tyrone 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),Single-pet home,Recommend no dog parks

Recommendations comments:: No Young Children: Due to Tyrone's jumping on handlers and his overall lack of impulse control, we recommend a home with no young children. Single-Pet Home/No Dog Parks: Due to reports of Tyrone being reactive on leash toward dogs as well as reacting to them in kennel, we recommend a single pet home and that he not be taken to dog parks.

Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Fearful,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:: Basic Manners/Poor Impulse Control: During his assessment Tyrone was observed to frequently jump on handlers, particularly when they were sitting down. It is recommended that default behaviors such as "Leave it", "Sit/Stay", "Down" are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended. Please see handout on Basic Manners and Impulse Control. Fearful: During his medical exams Tyrone was observed to display a tense body during certain portions of handling. It is important to always go slow and give Tyrone the option to walk away from any social interaction. They should never be forced to approach anything that they are uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be their choice to approach a new person or thing. Tyrone would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to their new surroundings. Please see handout on Decompression Period. On-Leash Reactivity/Barrier Frustration: Tyrone has been reported to be reactive on leash toward dogs when exiting kennel and while on leash. Tyrone may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach him to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior. Please see handout on On-Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration.
