After that he imitated play and allowed all handling, but the counselor still had to go very slow. During SAFER Adams was very sociable but became tense during the handling. He was not interested in the toys and rawhide items, but became stiff when being pushed out of the food bowl and snapped at the assess-a-hand. Due to this behavior placement with a New Hope partner is recommend, as well as a positive behavior modification program.
