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 female shepherd and exchanged a soft greeting with her. He began to calmly roam the yard and explore. He was tolerant of dogs trailing him to sniff him. He continued to roam the yard and exchange soft greetings when other dogs approached him. He remained calm and social for the rest of his time in the yard. He did not entice or engage in any play during his time in the yard. He would approach the handlers and seek affection. Cocoa is social with the other dogs, but he displayed no play style at this time.
