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 the high level of jumping, anxiety, fearfulness, and mouthing seen at the care center, we recommend a home without children at this time. Recommend no dog parks: Due to Prince Khan's behavior in playgroup, we recommend he does not visit dog parks. Place with a New Hope partner: Due to the behavior concerns displayed in the previous home and during stay in care, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner.

Potential challenges: : House soiling,Destructive behavior,Basic manners/poor impulse control,Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition,Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Anxiety,Leash-biting,Low threshold for arousal

Potential challenges comments:: House soiling: Prince Khan is noted to be partially housetrained and will likely need guidance with house training. We recommend positive reinforcement, reward-based training only. Please see the handout on House soiling. Destructive behavior: Prince Khan was reported to destroy furniture and walls in the previous home. We are unaware of what, if any, attempts were made to remedy this behavior, but we suggest to future adopters that Prince Khan will need to be provided with physical and mental stimulation and with a variety of appropriate and engaging chew toys so he can engage in necessary chewing behavior without damage to human objects. Please see handout on Destructive behavior. Basic manners/poor impulse control | Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition| Anxiety: Throughout his assessment, Prince Khan would persistently jump up on handlers and then began pacing while panting heavily. At the end, he approaches a seated handler and begins mouthing at their hand and fingers. There is no pressure, and he pauses when the hadnler puts their hand in their pocket to grab and offer treats as a redirection. These behaviors suggest a need for consistent training to improve his manners and impulse control. Using positive reinforcement and redirection will help manage these behaviors effectively. Please see the handout on Basic manners/poor impulse control, generalized anxietey, and Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition. Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Pricne Khan began growling while in his kennel when a handler attempted to leash him. He initially presented as fearful but has warmed up with time, a slow approach, and the use of treats. During his medical exam, similar behaviors were observed. His signs of discomfort must be respected; Prince Khan should never be forced to interact, and he should always be allowed to walk away from situations or people he finds uncomfortable. We recommend a slow approach, and we recommend ONLY force-free, reward-based training methods for Prince Khan. More aversive techniques are likely to increase fear, increase the risk of aggression, and decrease his quality of life. Please see handout on Fearful/potential for defensive aggression. Low threshold for arousal | Leash Biting: Prince Khan is quick to grab the leash in his mouth. We recommend walking him with a toy to dissuade him from grabbing the leash. Positive reinforcement, force-free training is advised to teach him to focus on you rather than grab the leash. Please see handout on Arousal.
