Scratching
During an encounter a dog uses a paw to scratch itself
while sitting, standing or lying down; alternatively, it
exhibits scratching motions in the air.

The female Rottweiler x Labrador cross is in the
training field when a male German Shepherd is brought
onto the field and looks at her as he approaches. She
sniffs the ground and ignores him. The two dogs remain
at a distance of about two meters apart. The German

then lowers his head. When the female sits and begins to
scratch herself, the German Shepherd sniffs the
air.
