Potential challenges comments:: Resource guarding: Honey will display a tense body and hovering over food suggest guarding behavior. Use trade-up exercises and teach cues like “drop it” and “leave it” with high-value rewards. Avoid reaching directly for items and build trust through consistent, positive interactions. Please see the handout on Resource guarding. Basic manners/poor impulse control/Social hyperarousal/Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition: Honey is noted to be heavy panting and have difficulty settling down, she is noted to grab onto the handler's clothing and display a high level of jumping. Structured sessions focused on settling, impulse control, and low-arousal interactions will help her regulate her excitement and respond more appropriately to handlers. Please see the handout on Basic manners/poor impulse control/Social hyperarousal/Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition. Handling/touch sensitivity/Fearful/Anxiety:Honey is taken to the behavior office for a handling assessment. When in the office, she begins to flinch and seek an exit, she approaches the handler for light petting better but will begin to cower.Use slow, reward-based desensitization and keep sessions brief to build trust and reduce fear. Please see the handout on decompression period, generalized anxiety and Handling/touch sensitivity. Barrier frustration; Honey is noted ot kennel fight in her kennel when coming out og her kennel. A training plan should focus on reinforcing calm behavior near kennel rows, increasing distance where possible, and practicing structured “walk-bys” paired with high-value rewards. Incorporating impulse-control exercises and providing enrichment can further help reduce frustration and promote more relaxed behavior around kennel-side triggers. Please see the handout On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration.
