It identified a need for predictable rest and calm guidance through household routines.
02 · What the audit identified
The source placed particular emphasis on avoiding confrontation when moving Whistler, keeping food routines consistent and preventing valuable enclosed spaces from becoming a guarding setup.

- Use consistent place and crate routines around household activity.
- Keep food and furniture boundaries predictable.
- Transfer the same cues and handling timing to the owners.
