I like to know about aggressions—leash, food, toy, territory, “flock”, other dogs, humans or certain types of humans (for example, Bean barks at men in hats), small animals, etc. What stresses him or her out? Thunder, vacuums, construction, people, etc. What’s their favorite toy? Do they chase anything you throw, or prefer balls or ropes? Is there a toy they are unwilling to share? Do they chew through everything you give them? What kind of snacks do they eat? Any allergies or intolerances? Any taste or texture preferences? What are the frustrating behaviors they do? Chewing, peeing to mark territory or out of excitement or fear, humping, jumping, nipping, escaping, etc. How do they usually act? Is it normal for them to be rambunctious or sleepy? Do they always look afraid? How do they signal that they need to go outside? What behavior is cause for concern? Are there any special rituals? Feeding at specific times, going on specific walks, using the bathroom in the same place, or cuddling up with the same toy at night?

I like to walk at the Arboretum by my house! We sometimes go to French Broad Park, too.
