ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Chutney so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. In the care center, he displays a medium level of activity.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)
Recommendations comments:: No young children: Due to the behavior seen in the care center, we feel that Chutney may be intimidated by young children. He needs a slow approach and time to warm up. He should never be forced to interact with new people, and should be allowed to greet and initiate an interaction at his own pace. Older, gentle children should have an in-depth interaction prior to adoption.
Potential challenges: : Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: Chutney fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Chutney the option to walk away from any social interaction. Chutney should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Chutney's choice to approach a new person or thing. Chutney would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings.
