19 Domestication occurs over a long period of time (generations or eras). Process of breeding and caring for animals resulting in physical and behavioral changes to benefit humans. Wild animals have not been domesticated as a species. Tameness is a measure of comfort around humans. Feral animals are ones which are considered domesticated but have little individual tameness.
20 Generally display offensive behaviors Prefer low light or dark Binocular vision, eyes forward Increased olfactory sense More likely to fight before flight
21 Defensive behaviors More comfortable in light environments Monocular vision, eyes to side of head Less depth perception Use countermeasures like camouflage or overly bright colors May freeze before flight
22
23 Males are more aggressive in general Female aggression may be maternal or hormone influenced Neutering has more effect on males than females with respect to offensive aggression Defensive aggression less likely to be affected by spay/neuter Sexual maturity and hormone production

30 Most vicious of all Small and fast Can inflict multiple bites quickly Often display defensive aggression
31 Diverse group Chow Chow Dalmation Lhasa Apso Poodle Stoic breeds
32 Defined behavioral development periods Younger animals more malleable Exploratory and learning behaviors in puppies may be mistaken for aggression Hormones become more important during sexual maturity Dogs may become more aggressive with age Increase in pain, decrease in tolerance Decrease in cognitive and sensory function Increase in anxiety related disorders Habituation and learned aggression
33 Animals learn behaviors and social roles from parents and littermates Bite inhibition in puppies learned between 2 8 weeks Socialization period between 3 14 weeks Human/animal bond begins to form with positive contact Fear of unknown increases as socialization period ends Kittens have smaller window for socialization, 2 7 weeks
