Do not EVER corner dogs! Dachshund mix Frisco crouches submissively when cornered and reached for. He is fearful of strangers, but luckily, he passively submits to any handling by them..

If the dog gets too pushy, especially if it is large, the tester should remain neutral and defuse the situation, not attempt to correct it. Correcting a strange dog may backfire. Previous owners who always became intimidated and backed off when the dog protested any attempt to control its behavior might have already accidentally trained the dog to become aggressive when corrected. Other dogs have been taught to respect any human control, and will never challenge a human who corrects them. Still others naturally have a strong defensive response to aggression by people and respond in kind. I’d rather not try to find out by trial and error which category a dog belongs to! If the dog shows any aggression, the proper course of action in a shelter is to stop testing immediately, inform the behaviorist or other personnel, and safely return the dog to a kennel.
