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.\" 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 female Pitbull and exchanged a timid greeting with her. When the female Pitbull playfully jumped at her, trying to entice play, she gave an appropnate air snap correction. She then began to roam the yard and explore. She was tolerant of dogs trailing her to sniff her. After some time, she appeared to relax more and began to exchange soft greetings with the other dogs. She offered a play bow to a male Pitbull, and they engaged in gentle/dainty play. She remained play ful and social for the rest of her time in the yard, but she would get overwhelmed by higher energy dogs or higher contact in play. She prefers light to no contact during her play. She would approach the handlers often and jump up seeking affection. She would benefit from some basic manners training. Amber is social with the other dogs and prefers a gentle/dainty play style. She would likely do best with a calmer dog, with a gentle play style.
