A dogs behavior in an Animal Care Center may differ significantly from how they behave in a home. Stress, confinement, and unfamliar surroundings can cause dogs to act out or suppress behaviors that may emerge later. A dog's behaviormay 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 a high tail and hackles raised. He approached a female Pitbull, sniffed her, and then mounted her. Ahandler steered him away for her using a spray bottle. He then kept trailing her and attempting to mount her again. Due to his focus on her, she was placed into an adjacent yard, to gauge his behavior with the other dogs. He began to roam the yard and explore the yard. After a short time, two male Pitbull began playing together. This got his attention and he approached one of the male Pitbull's. He had a forward body posture, high tail and began to neck press the Pitbull. He then tned to mount the male Fitbull, and a handler steered him away using a spray bottle. He the circled the male Pitbull and stood in front of him with a forward posture and high tail. The male Pitbull offered him a play bow. Apollo then lunged forward growling and began to attack the Pitbull. Ahandler used the sound of a shaker can, but it did not break his focus. The handler then used the sound of an air hom and the altercation stopped. Apollo was then exited from the yard at this time. The male Pitbull only had a small abrasion on his back and so was allowed to remain in the play yard for recovery play. Due to Apollo's unprovoked offensive behavior, he will be designated as no other dogs required. Due to an incident before coming to the care center, he will be designated as adults only required and will require a known history of aggression disclosure for.
