BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: ADULT ONLY HOME Behavior Asilomar TM - Treatable-Manageable Recommendations: No children (under 13) Recommendations comments: No children: Due to the discomfort Gizmo has displayed with some forms of handling, we recommend an adult only home. Potential challenges: Handling/touch sensitivity/ Fearful/potential for defensive aggression Potential challenges comments: Handling/touch sensitivity: Gizmo has lifted his lip and bared teeth when his paw was handled, showing discomfort with touch in certain areas. It is important to avoid touching Gizmo's paws at this time and to be cautious when touching him in other areas as we do not know where he may have other sensitivities. Positive reinforcement, reward based training should be used to pair touch with good things such as food rewards in order to teach Gizmo to be more comfortable with this. Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Gizmo is described as shy with new people and has snapped when fearful at the care center. It is important to always go slow and give Gizmo the option to walk away from any social interaction. Gizmo should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Gizmo's choice to approach a new person or thing. Gizmo would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings. ...
