When the handler attempts to leash him, Tyrion bites the leash; they quickly remove it as he releases it. The handler lures Tyrion with a treat and leashes him; they toss treats on the ground, and as Tyrion exits the room, he eats them. While walking out the building, Tyrion pulls towards the crates, but the handler shortnes the leash. Once they get outside, Tyrion fixates on a large dog a couple feet away; the handler jogs Tyrion across the street and out of sight, but Tyrion continues to fixate on them. Once he stops, he looks at the handler with soft eyes, and allows pets from them. He then jumps and mounts them, until the handler pulls him off of them. tyrion walks with mild leash tension; he doesn't react to people.

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Tyrion Rexford 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 addition to physical exercise, to positively direct their energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 3

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to on leash reactivity and mouthie behavior we recommend an adult only home.

Potential challenges: : Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:: Mouthiness: Tyrion is observed to mouth handlers on the arm with mild pressure. We recommend never playing with bare hands, always with a toy, and ending play or attention whenever Tyrion 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. On Leash Reactivity: Tyrion is noted to snap at other dogs while on leash. He is noted to become tense, plant, and pull towards dogs and people. Tyrion will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach them to look at you rather than dogs and other stimuli. We recommend a front clip harness to help manage this behavior. Please see handout on On Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration.
