What are the characteristics of an unfamiliar dog?

Having an unfamiliar dog often exhibits some obvious behavioral traits, which may be related to trust, mood, etc. Here are some characteristics that an unfamiliar dog may exhibit:

1. Nervousness and restlessness: Having an unfamiliar dog may show nervous, restless or wary behavior, such as constantly looking around, erect ears, stiff body, etc.

2. Avoidance or hiding: When faced with strangers or new situations, dogs may try to avoid or hide, such as hiding in corners, under beds, or other hidden places.

3. Fear Aggression: Some dogs may display aggressive behavior when in a state of fear, which is a defense mechanism in which they try to protect themselves from harm.

4. Uncooperative: An unfamiliar dog may show signs of being unwilling to cooperate, such as being reluctant to approach people, being petted, or refusing food.

5. Tail Posture: A dog's tail posture may also reveal their mood. A fearful or upset dog will often tuck its tail under its legs or keep a low profile.

These traits may be present in almost all dogs, but the degree to which they are expressed varies depending on the dog's personality and background. The key to dealing with these behaviors is to build trust and a gradual socialization process so that the dog can gradually overcome discomfort and adapt to new environments and human contact. Most importantly, help dogs develop positive relationships with their humans through patience, love, and proper training.
