Stress, confinement, and unfamiliar surroundings can cause dogs to act out or suppress behaviors that may emerge later. A dog's behavior may change based on surroundings, training, medical, socialization, and life experiences.\" She was easily collared by the runner in the catch pen. She entered the play yard with soft body language. She was approached by a male Mastiff and tolerated him sniffing her, but she had wide eyes and licking her lips. When he lingered in her face, she gave a lip curl waming. He respected the waming and walked away. She began to calmly roam the yard and explore. She exchanged some soft greetings with the very calm dogs. She was approached by a female Pitbull that playfully pawed at her, trying to entice play. She gave a show of teeth and an air snap correction to this. The female Pitbull respected this and walked away. Later, a male Pitbull offered her a play bow, and she gave him an air snap for this. She also displayed some hall-monitor behavior when other dogs were running and playing together. She would approach the handlers and seek affection. She will need a very calm dog that will respect her space and boundanes.
