BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 4

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): We reccomend Ozzy is placed in an adult-only home at this time.

Potential challenges: : Resource guarding,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Kennel presence

Potential challenges comments:: Resource guarding: During Ozzy behavioral assessment, he is noted to hover over the toy during the resource guarding portion of his handling assessment. Continued management and training should focus on building positive associations with people near valued items and reinforcing relaxed, non-guarding behaviors. Please see the handout on Resource guarding. Kennel presence/Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Ozzy is noted to growl at his kennel when handlers approach and will bare his teeth. Interactions should prioritize low-stress approaches, allowing Ozzy space, and using gradual desensitization to improve his comfort with handler presence. Please see the handout on Fearful/potential for defensive aggression.
