Running

The dog trots or runs without trying to escape from something, but keeping at a certain distance from a stimulus. This behaviour is often associated with very short interactions that are interrupted by the dog when he begins to run.
(Capra, 2011)

This mixed breed female has reacted to the approach of a male smooth-coated Border Collie by beginning to run.

The sable mixed breed female runs toward the Staffordshire Bull Terrier bitch, who ignores her and turns her attention to the woman present. The Staffy joins the Border Collie, who is part of her family group, and together they move away; the mixed breed keeps running, but they ignore her. The male Border Collie encounters the mixed breed female, who sniffs, lowers her tail, swerves and then exhibits a jaw punch and licks her nose when the male tries to sniff her. The mixed breed stands still for a few seconds, then begins to run in wide circles around the Border Collie. He marks the ground with urine, and then exhibits an eliminative paw scrape towards the mixed breed. When the Border Collie approaches her, she begins to run.

The male Border Collie follows the German Shepherd at a run, but is slowed by the Pastore Bergamasco. The Australian Shepherd bitch tries to stop the German Shepherd, who continues to run in circles around the people present, orienting towards the gate. She continues to run in circles, followed by the Aussie and the Border. The German Shepherd stops in front of the Pastore Bergamasco, and the two dogs sniff each other.
