Canine behaviour is the behavioural repertoire of the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), comprising social, communicative, foraging, reproductive, and locomotor patterns together with the perceptual and cognitive processes that organise them^[1]. Sensitivity to human signals is a prominent feature, yet it is not a fixed inherited module: it develops through ontogeny and depends on acceptance of humans as social companions and on prior conditioning^[2]. Communication is multimodal, integrating visual signals such as postures, facial movements, and tail carriage with acoustic and olfactory information, and the same signals serve both conspecific and human-directed interactions^[3]. Breed-specific selection has diversified morphology and some behavioural tendencies, but individual variation within breeds remains substantial^[1].
