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

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Glamorous has escalated to baring teeth and snapping at staff in the care center. Glamourous should be allowed to build positive associations through treats, toys, and praise, and should have the opportunity to initiate interactions with new people. She should never be forced to greet or interact with others if she is not comfortable or actively seeking attention. Glamourous would thrive in an initially calm and quiet home environment, where she can be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings. Please refer to the handouts on the Decompression Period and Fearful and Defensive Aggression Kennel presence- Glamorous is reported to growl and lunged in front of her kennel tracking handlers hands.
