Summary:: Bucking with handling and will not allow muzzling. Opted to sedate

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Ozzy Pawsborne 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 a low threshold for arousal we recommend an adult only home.

Potential challenges: : Resource guarding,Basic manners/poor impulse control,Handling/touch sensitivity,Fearful,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration,Low threshold for arousal

Potential challenges comments:: Resource Guarding: Ozzy was obsvered to become tense and mouth the assess-a-hand when approached with a toy in his possession. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Ozzy'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. Fearful/ Handling Sensitivity: Ozzy was obsvered to buck with handling and did not allow muzzling during his medical exam. Positive reinforcement, reward based training should be used to pair touch with good things such as food rewards in order to teach Ozzy to be more comfortable with this. Please see handout on Decompression Period and Handling and Touch Sensitivity. On Leash Reactivity: Ozzy is obsvered to pull hard towards dogs while whining. Ozzy will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach them to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness to help manage this behavior. Please see handout on On Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration. Arousal/ Basic Manners: Ozzy is obsvered to have a low threshold for arousal noted to jump up on handlers often and with an open mouth. Positive reinforcement training should be used to teach Ozzy to remain calm during arousing situations. If they begin to escalate, people should pause the interaction, and create distance from the trigger. Pattern games such as 1-2-3 treat and the cue “mat” can be used to reinforce calm behaviors. Please see handout on Arousal and Basic Manners.
