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 behavior may 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 was approached by a male husky and gave a show of teeth waming, growled and had a tucked tail. The male Husky walked away. He was then approached by a female Malinois and displayed the same behavior. She also walked away. He then began to roam the yard and explore. After some time, he began to relax more and exchange soft greetings with the other dogs. As time progressed, he stopped giving growl wamings for space and continued to exchange soft greetings. He remained social for the rest of his time in the yard and engaged in bursts of gentle/dainty play. He would approach the handlers and seek affection. Chocolate is social with the other dogs and prefers a gentle/ dainty play style. He may take a little time to wan up with new dogs and become more confident around them. He is a young puppy that needs continued socialization to continue to build his confidence with other dogs. He will also need more socialization to walking on leash.
