The 4 primary fear responses in dogs, also known as the 4 F’s: Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fidget.
The Fight response is one of the most common, and misunderstood fear reactions in dogs.
The Flight response is another common fear response that you have most likely seen your dog or another dog perform.
The Freeze response is where a dog will remain completely still in the presence of a perceived threat with the hope that it will move past them without noticing them.
The Fidget response is a less commonly recognized fear response.
Understanding the 4 F’s of fear - fight, flight, freeze, and fidget - is crucial to addressing behavioral concerns and addressing our dog’s emotional well-being.

When I taught psychology we told students that the 4 Fs refer to the function of a small part of the brain called the hypothalamus. It controls food consumption, fear, aggression (fight), and procreation (yes, there’s an f word for that and you know what it is!)(content removed) These are all very basic functions that serve to keep us alive.

The 4 F's of Play are F1, F2, F3, and F4.
F1: Fight includes rough and tumble play styles, such as face biting, wrestling, and chest bumping.
F2: Flight includes both chasing and being chased.
F3: Food includes rip and shake with toys, stalking, and tug.
F4: Fornication includes mounting, pre-mounting and courtship.
Dogs use all 4 F's during play, but most have their favorite F.
All are normal parts of play and all are required in order to fit the definition of survival.
