ENERGY LEVEL:: Noche Luna is described as active and enthusiastic. They will need daily mental and physical activity to keep them 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. We recommend feeding with puzzle feeders and food-dispensing toys. And we recommend using force-free, reward-based training techniques for Noche Luna.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to baring teeth and growling towards handlers we recommend an adult only home.

Potential challenges: : House soiling,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Anxiety

Potential challenges comments:: House Soiling: Noche's previous owner states that she will very rarely has very accidents in the home. We recommend positive reinforcement, reward-based training only. Accidents should never be punished as this will likely make the problem worse. Please see handout on House Soiling. Fearful Defensive: Noche's previous owner states that she is fearful when pushed off furniture. In care Noche has been observed to bare teeth and growl towards handlers. It is important to move slowly with Noche, 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. Anxiety: Noche's previous owner states that she is anxious in the home and will pace, whine, and is unable to settle. If Noche 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.
