Potential challenges: : Destructive behavior,Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition,Separation anxiety,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:: Separation anxiety/Destructive behavior: Freybug's owner noted he has separation anxiety and destructive tendencies. Positive reinforcement and daily enrichment should be used to manage these behaviors. Please see the handouts on Separation Anxiety and Destructive Behaviors. Mouthiness: Freybug has been observed to take treats with moderate pressure. Freybug has been observed to take treats with a hard mouth.

During one instance, Fregbug lunged, bit, and held the bars of their pop up crate when a dog was walking by.
