ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on honey booboo so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Recommend no dog parks,Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to Honey Booboo arousal concerns we recommend she is placed in an adult only home at this time. Recommend No Dog Parks: Due to the displays of behavior indicating that Honey Booboo is uncomfortable around other dogs – conflicted with play, giving disproportionate corrections - the Behavior Department recommends that she not be taken to dog parks. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to counter-condition and desensitize Honey Booboo to help her associate other dogs with positive experiences, such as toys or treats. Place with a New Hope partner: Honey Booboo came into the care center as a stray due to this her behavioral history in a home environment is unknown. Honey BooBoo is noted to show social behavior towards handler leaning in for petting and readily accepts treats. Due to Honey Booboo leash biting and having difficulty refocusing the behavior department recommends Honey Booboo be placed with a New Hope placement partner who is able to provide an experienced adult-only foster home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Honey Booboo to acclimate comfortably to her new environment; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing Honey Booboo to new and unfamiliar situations.

Potential challenges: : Resource guarding,Basic manners/poor impulse control,Social hyperarousal,Fearful,Leash-biting

Potential challenges comments:: Resource Guarding: During her assessment Honey was observed to be tense and freeze when being interacted with while in possession of a toy. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Honey's mouth, and any time something is removed he should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. She should be taught the "drop" cue and trade-up games. Please see handout on Resource Guarding. Basic manners/poor impulse control/Leash-biting/Social hyperarousal: Honey Booboo leash biting and jumping on handlers and not being able to be refocused. Continued training should focus on reinforcing calm behavior, teaching alternative attention-seeking behaviors, and rewarding engagement with the handler before arousal escalates. Please see the handouts on Basic manners/poor impulse control, arousal, leash-biting. Fearful: On intake she is notes to freeze when dogs barked at her in the kennel room and had to be helped to be placed into her kennel. Providing low-pressure handling, creating distance from overwhelming triggers, and allowing her time to build confidence will help support her adjustment and reduce fear-related responses. Please see the handout on decompression period.
