mature canine

behavior Mature canine behavior is a combination of behaviors formed early in their development as puppies and behaviors they learn through environmental influence and experience. Mature canine behavior includes displaying calm body language, developed instincts, manners, self control and a willingness to learn and obey commands. Older dogs will also interact more positively with their environment and other animals, and will know when it's appropriate to bark and when it's not. Mature canine behavior can also include more refined patterns of communication, such as subtle facial expressions and vocalizations, as well as displaying a good understanding of obedience and social cues.
