Potential challenges: : House soiling,Resource guarding,Destructive behavior,Basic manners/poor impulse control,Fearful,Anxiety,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration,Leash-biting,Strength/leash pulling

Potential challenges comments:: House Soiling: Tyger's previous owner states that he will have accidents in the home a few times a week. Accidents should never be punished as this will likely make the problem worse. Please see handout on House Soiling. Resource Guarding: Tyger's previous owner states that he will become tense and hover over toys and random objects in his possession. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Tyger's mouth, and any time something is removed they should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. Please see handout on Resource Guarding. Destructive Behavior: Tyger's previous owner states that he is destructive in the home. We are unaware of what, if any, attempts were made to remedy this behavior but we suggest to future adopters that Tyger will need to be provided with physical and mental stimulation and with a variety of appropriate and engaging chew toys so they can engage in necessary chewing behavior without damage to human objects. Please see handout on Destructive Behavior. Basic Manners: Tyger's previous owner states that he will jump up often. It is recommended that default behaviors such as "Sit" and "Off" are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach them to control their impulses instead of simply reacting. Please see handout on Basic Manners. Fearful: Tyger's previous owner states that he is fearful of loud noises. They should never be forced to approach anything that they are uncomfortable with or submit to petting or handling. Tyger 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. Anxiety: Tyger's previous owner states that he is anxious in the home. If Tyger displays anxious behavior in their future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving them other things to focus on to alleviate their anxiety. Positive reinforcement, force-free training should be used. Please see handout on Generalized Anxiety. On Leash Reactivity: Tyger's previous owner states that he will lunge and snap towards unfamiliar and familiar dogs; however, during intake he stated that Tyger does not snap he give "love nibbles". It is also reported that he will lunge towards moving objects, cats, strangers, children, and small anaimls. During intake the owner states that the lunging is in a playful manner. Tyger will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach them to look at you rather than dogs and other stimuli. Please see handout on On Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration. Leash Biting: In care Tyger has been observed to jump up and bite the leash intensely. We recommend walking them with a toy to dissuade them from grabbing the leash. Please see handout on Leash Manners. Leash Pulling: Tyger's previous owner states that he will pull hard while on leash. It is recommended that they be walked on a front clip harness or head halter. Please see handout on Leash Manners.
