Slow walk

The dog moves at a walk with slow, stiff movements exhibited together with: staring, hackles raised on shoulders/withers or along the entire back, ears pricked, tail held high or arched. Can be associated with a lateral stance, and is often exhibited immediately before a leap forward or charging.
(Koler-Matznick et al., 2005)

The mixed breed male is walking slowly and stiffly when a mixed breed female approaches (she is wearing a muzzle).

The female Czech Wolf Dog approaches at a slow walk the male Alaskan Malamute mix, hackles raised on the neck and shoulders, offensive facial display and ears back.
