Avoidance
The dog moves its head or entire body away from an
object, a situation or an interaction with another dog.
This movement is never sudden or quick; when at a fast
pace it is defined as 'flight'. Avoidance may include
crawling.

1982; Goodmann, 2002; Koler-Matznick, 2005; Shoening,

This male mixed breed enters the training field with
head down. When the female Alaskan Malamute approaches,
he seeks support from his owner, then looks at the bitch
before again lowering his head and tail and, avoiding
her, he again seeks support from his owner. The male
arches his neck as he walks in front of the Malamute;
when she leaves, he sniffs.
