Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition,Bite history (human)

Potential challenges comments:: Basic manners/poor impulse control- Clementine jumps up non-stop, indicating a need for training to improve her impulse control and basic manners. Consistent training to teach her to sit or stay when greeting people, using positive reinforcement and redirection, will help manage this behavior. Please see the handout on Basic manners/poor impulse control. Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition- Clementine displayed mouthy behavior lightly mouthing the handler. To address Clementine's mouthiness and improve her bite inhibition, start by redirecting her mouthing behavior to appropriate chew toys whenever she begins to mouth a handler. Use positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, when she engages with the toys instead of mouthing people. Please see the handout on Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition.
