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." She walked to the play yard with no pull on the leash. She was easily collared by the runner in the catch pen. She entered the play yard with soft body language. She was approached by a male Pitbull and exchanged a soft greeting with him. She offered him a play bow, but she then whined and created space from him, when he made contact with her in play. She then began to roam the yard and explore. She was tolerant of dogs trailing her to sniff her. She continued to roam the yard and exchange soft greetings with the other dogs. She remained social for the rest of her time in the yard. She engaged in some gentle/dainty play with a few dogs during her time in the yard. She would approach the handlers and seek affection. She is a young puppy that would benefit from continued socialization with other dogs. Ariel is social with the other dogs and prefers a gentle/dainty play stvle.
