?The behaviors described today reflect the dog?s responses in an Animal Care Center environment and during assessment. 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.?
Macho was at the front of the kennel with a neutral body and a stoic demeanor. He was easy to leash and remove from the
kennel, pulled strongly on leash while bypassing the other kennels, and was easy to collar. Due to his reported history of
aggression, he was muzzled prior to entering the yard. He was tense and resistant to being muzzled, but the runner moved
slowly and was able to safely muzzle him. In the catch pen, his body was neutral. He entered the yard and exchanged slightly
tense greetings with the other dogs. He tried to remove the muzzle, and became very focused on the muzzle. The handler
was able to break his focus after a few moments, and he began to roam the yard. He tried to mount the other dogs, and
ignored their corrections. When one of the other males offered a firm correction, Macho finally backed away from the other
dog. He resumed trying to remove the muzzle, and remained extremely focused. He tensed whenever the handler tried to pet
him, but did not growl. He did not engage in play with the other dogs. When he was returned to his kennel, he refused to
enter the kennel. He pulled away and bit the leash, but the runner was able to correct him with a verbal correction. Macho is
selective with the other dogs, has a medium energy level, and does not have a playstyle at this time.
