Ignoring

Observing the actions of another individual, without demonstrating any apparent response to them.
(Goodmann, 2002)

This female German Shepherd mix is barking at a female Bernese Mountain Dog. The Bernese has sought support from her owner and is ignoring the mixed breed (the owner is staring at the mixed breed).

This photo was taken during a behavioural evaluation. The Pit Bull mix is ignoring the doll.

The dog that is sitting is a 6 year old female Labrador, while the Airedale puppy is three and a half months old. The Labrador x Golden Retriever cross is 9 months old and has been neutered. The adolescent male and the puppy approach the Labrador, who moves her head away and closes her eyes, ignoring the two dogs.

The female Beagle approaches the male mixed breed and the two dogs sniff each other, circling. The male interrupts the interaction and leaves, seeking support from a person. The Beagle follows him, and he stops near the person. When the Beagle averts her gaze, he glances at her, briefly sniffs the air, lowers his head and follows the person, then ignores the Beagle, who leaves. The mixed breed yawns and breathes with his mouth open.
