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.' Clifford was already in the yard when the handler decided to begin the handling assessment. He was moved to the side yard, and given a few moments to decompress before the handler entered the yard. He approached the handler with a relaxed body, and allowed the handler to gently restrain him using the leash. The handler was able to pet his whole body with no issues. He was slightly distracted by the environment, but stood calmly by the handler's side with a neutral body, soft eyes, an open pant, and a neutral tail with a loose wag. He was easily returned to his kennel once the assessment was over.
