Date of initial:: 11/1/2025

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Luffy so we cannot be certain of their behavior in a home environment. However, they will need daily mental and physical activity to stay engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct their energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 4

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to mouthie behavior, poor impulse control and reported fearful behaviors in the home we recommend an adult only home.

Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Low threshold for arousal

Potential challenges comments:: Basic Manners: Luffy has been obsvered to jump up on handlers. 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; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward-based training only is recommended. Please see handout on Basic Manners. Mouthiness: Luffy has been obsvered to mouth handlers hands while on walks. We recommend never playing with bare hands, always with a toy, and ending play or attention whenever Luffy puts teeth on skin. They should be rewarded with attention and treats when they stop and/or when they are seeking attention in alternate ways. Please see handout on Mouthiness. Fearful Defensive: Luffy's previous owner states that he will bark and growl when startled. It is important to move slowly with Luffy, to build positive associations (treats/toys/praise), and to allow them to initiate interactions with new people. They should never be forced to greet or to interact if they are not comfortable and soliciting attention. Please see handout on Fearful and Defensive Aggression. Low threshold for arousal: During a brough break, Luffy was reported to have mounted the borough breaker for an hour and a half, ignoring all treats and toys. Positive reinforcement should be used to help Luffy learn impulse control. Please see the handout on Arousal.
