description The domestic dog is able to adapt to new environments by changing their behavior depending on the context. In this process, activation of the autonomic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis under the control of consciousness involved. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the external environment (clinical practice) on the interaction of dog with an unknown man. This work was performed in a private clinical practice, for it were randomized 8 adults dogs, of both genders and different races who attended the clinic. Of these, only half knew the environment (population A), the other half unknown (population B). All were applied a communication test against an unknown person. They were shot 4 minutes with camcorder from an adjacent room of 9 m2 window. Then focal and continuous observation of each animal was performed, recording the following variables: eye contact (frequency), latency approach and stay near the unknown (in seconds). For statistical analysis t-test was applied to check the distribution of the means of the two populations (A and B). This test showed no significant difference (p ≥ 0.05) behavioral responses between the two groups (known versus unknown environment). However, there was a trend of more frequent eye contact with the person who did not know the environment (mean = 6.00), compared with those who did know him (mean = 1.75) (p = 0.09), probably trying to start inter-specific communication faster with the human in a novel environment. When dogs attend the clinic as patients consulting for the first time, the office environment is totally unknown: smells, sights, other dogs and people. In this unfamiliar environment, it is with human beings with whom he develops eye contact and touch to keep your sensory homeostasis, and thus achieve a balance back into behavioral homeostasis.

El perro domestico es capaz de adaptarse a nuevos ambientes modificando su comportamiento según el contexto. El sistema nervioso autónomo y el eje hipotálamo-pituitario-adrenal interpretan la información sensorial y la transforman en actividad muscular. El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar la influencia del ambiente (consultorio) sobre la interacción del perro con una persona desconocida. Se utilizaron 8 perros adultos, de ambos sexos y diferentes razas. La mitad de ellos conocía el ambiente (población A) y la otra mitad lo desconocía (población B). Una persona desconocida les impuso a todos un test de comunicación en una habitación de 9 m2 . Con una videocámara se filmaron 4 minutos desde una ventana. En cada animal se registraron las siguientes variables: contacto visual (frecuencia), latencia en aproximación y permanencia cerca del desconocido (en segundos). Estadísticamente se aplicó la prueba T para comprobar la distribución de las medias de las dos poblaciones (A y B), la cual no mostró diferencias significativas (p≥0,05) en las respuestas conductuales entre ambos grupos (ambiente conocido versus desconocido). No obstante, la tendencia de contacto visual con la persona fue mayor en los perros que ignoraban el ambiente versus aquéllos que lo conocían, probablemente intentando una más rápida comunicación con las personas. En el caso particular de los perros, el primer adulto regulador de la homeostasia conductual es la madre, pero en los perros que conviven en comunidades urbanas es el ser humano. Cuando los perros asisten a la consulta clínica como pacientes por primera vez, el ambiente del consultorio es totalmente desconocido: olores, imágenes, otros perros y personas. En ese ambiente desconocido, es con el ser humano con quien entabla contacto visual y táctil para mantener su homeostasis sensorial y de esa manera alcanzar nuevamente un equilibrio en su homeostasis conductual.
