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.' Terry A5800419 greeted the runner with a relaxed demeanor, he was easy and eager to exit the kennel, and he excitedly ran through the kennels. In the catch pen when he was introduced to the dogs his body was relaxed, his eyes were soft, his tail wagged neutrally and his mouth was open with a soft pant. He was easy to collar and leash. He entered the yard and began exploring. He was nervous during his greetings. The dogs approached him, he was uncomfortable, he ran away and cornered himself at the bottom of the bench. The handler moved the dogs away from him to give him space. He settled, he began to sniff the dogs. After some time, he began to play. He ran excitedly with the dogs, his body was relaxed, his eyes were soft, his tail wagged neutrally and his mouth was open with a soft pant. He played well with the dogs. Overall, Tery was social with the dogs and would benefit best in a push/pull yard. Behaviorally ok for public adoption., large dogs ok.
