When I first meet a dog, my primary attention is on the dog’s center of gravity and his breathing. Is the dog leaning toward me, away from me, or standing square over all four paws? Is the dog frozen still, breathing normally, or breathing too fast with shallow breaths? At the same time, I’m looking at the dog’s mouth and eyes, where there’s a world of information, but being careful not to stare directly at him.
