Participants
This experiment was performed with my canine at our hometown a veterinarian clinic. The participants are the canine’s owner, the veterinarian, a veterinarian assistant, other animals in the vet, and the canine.
Materials
Small cage
Plastic rope leash
Nail clippers
Heartworm shot
Procedure
The canine was escorted out of motor vehicle and brought inside the clinic with a loose leash.

However, once the canine is inside and connected with an unfamiliar leash and vet assistant, it begins to show distress from being separated and trying to return back to its owner.

On the other hand, when the canine was taken to the secluded examination room, it began to show signs of being relaxed by immediately laying down. When the tools for the canine’s examination entered the room along with the vet and the vet’s assistant, the canine remained calm. Consequently, it was not until the assistant for the shot did hold down the canine forcefully, when the dog showed signs of fear and anxiety. Furthermore, the dog became more distressed from pain when the quick was cut on the back left foot. The owner’s presence does not seem to help the canine in distress, until they completely exit the veterinarian
