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.' Shadow greeted the runner at the front of the kennel with a relaxed body. She was easy to leash and remove from the kennel, pulled moderately on leash while bypassing the other kennels, and was easy to collar. In the catch pen, her body was tense, her eyes were wide, and her tail was high. She entered the yard, and exchanged tense greetings with the other dogs. She moved away from the dogs, and shook her whole body to relieve tension. She roamed the yard with a neutral body, neutral gaze, and a neutral tail. When one of the dogs began rolling on the ground, Shadow hovered over her with a stiff body. She was easy to steer with a verbal correction. She continued to roam the yard with a neutral body. She over-reacted and caused a minor altercation when one of the dogs tried to play with her. She was easy to steer with the shake can, and ran to the corner of the yard. She stayed there for a few moments before she began to interact with the other dogs again. She roamed the yard, played in the pool, and interacted nicely with the other dogs without engaging in play. She solicited petting from the handlers. Shadow is tolerant of the other dogs, has a medium energy level, and does not have a playstyle at this time.
