Immobility
Avoidance and ending of a behaviour, with body
movements frozen or inhibited. In extreme forms,
immobility is an element of learned helplessness.
(Seligman, 1971; Fox, 1971;
Overall, 2007)
This male Golden Retriever remains
immobile during olfactory exploration by the male
Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. The Golden Retriever's ears
are folded back.

This video was filmed during a behavioural evaluation.
This Cane Corso x Mastino Napoletano cross is being held
on leash by an unfamiliar person. The dog is immobile,
his head and tail down; the dog exhibits a facial fear
display, showing the white of his eyes, and folding his
ears back. He lowers his head and averts his gaze,
wagging his tail briefly. When a person approaches, the
dog wags his tail, which he is holding low, and remains
immobile.
