A dog's behavior in an Animal Care Center may differ significantly from how they behave in a home Stress, confinement, and unfamiliar surroundings can cause dogs to act out or suppress behaviors that may emerge later. A dog's behaviormay change based on surroundings, training, medical, socialization, and life experiences.\" He was easily collared by the runner in the catch pen. He entered the play yard with soft body language. He bypassed the other dogs and beganto roam the yard to explore. He was tolerant of dogs trailing him to sniff him After exploring the yard he began to approach other dogs and exchange soft greetings. He remamed calm and social for the rest of his time in the yard. There were dogs playing during his time in the yard, but he did not engage in or entice any play. He would approach the handlers and seek affection, but he can be a ittle head shy. Potato is social with the other dogs, but he displayed no play style at this time and would likely do best with a calmer dog in his older age.
