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 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 soft body language. He was approached by a male Great Dane and tolerated him sniffing him. He then approached a female cattle dogmix and exchanged a timid greeting with her. He began to roam the yard and explore. He was tolerant of dogs trailing him to sniff him. He began to approach the calmer dogs and exchange some soft greetings. He would create space away from the higher energy dogs. After some time, he appeared to relax a lot more and engaged in some gentle/dainty play with a male shepherd. He remained social for the rest of his time in the yard, but he still appeared way at times of dogs that were too high in energy or too high in contact with their play. He would approach the handlers and seek affection. Coolio is social with the other dogs and prefers a gentle/dainty play style. He prefers light to no contact dunng play and would do best with a calmer dog, to continue to build his confidence with other dogs.
