I was not socialized well as a puppy, so sometimes my interactions with people and animals is not perfect. When I am scared and Fight-or-Flight kicks in, I usually choose Fight. I have subtle cues and warning signs that I am uncomfortable, and generally if I am separated from the scary chaos and given a little time and some gentle words, I can calm myself down. If I can have undivided attention to play with a ball or be petted, I am very happy. I can also be aloof like a cat, decide that's enough attention and walk away.
