How to tell a dog’s personality
1. Picking at the right time? ??
The pet owner’s judgment of the dog’s character will be affected by the selection time. For example, when the dog is eating, the dog with better physical strength will usually rush to the front to grab food, and after it is full, it will return to its own den to rest, ignoring the people who come. However, the dog that has not grabbed the food will not have enough to eat. If the pet owner happens to be picking a dog at this time, the dog who is not full will appear more enthusiastic after seeing it and pray to the pet owner for food. This situation is likely to make Pet owners misjudge the dog’s character.
Actually, if you want to have a brave and physically strong dog, it is more suitable to choose a dog that will grab food; but if you want to have a docile dog, then don’t grab food. Dog food may be more suitable. Of course, different personalities have their pros and cons. For example, although dogs that can grab food are healthier and have good physical strength, they may have developed the habit of “snatching” and may retain this bad habit after moving to a new home. It needs to be trained, and it will be more difficult to train, and the pet owner needs to be psychologically prepared. Dogs who do not grab food may suffer from malnutrition due to long-term lack of food, so after selecting a dog, pay attention to taking it to the pet hospital for a comprehensive inspection from the inside out.
Two, test the dog’s personality? ? An experienced dog breeder can analyze a dog’s personality from their behavior when they are 1 to 2 months old. If you want to judge a dog’s personality more objectively, you can pick a dog around 2 months old, take them to an unfamiliar and quiet place when they are most active, and conduct the following behavioral tests on them:
1. Test social skills
In a quiet environment, half squat about 1-2 meters in front of the dog and call the dog over. If the dog raises its tail and runs straight towards itself, it means that the dog is more confident, outgoing, and likes to socialize. This kind of dog is more suitable for people who have enough time to spend with the dog.
But if dogs don’t respond to your calls, they either have hearing problems, or they are independent, aloof, not interested in socializing, interacting with people, or being domesticated.
If some dogs are hesitant to call you and show a little fear when they want to approach, it means that the dog is relatively timid and will be very dependent on the owner in the future.
2. Test the following ability
You stand up and walk slowly, calling the dog while walking, See if the dog will follow in its footsteps. At this time, confident and brave dogs will generally follow. A dog with a strong personality and a strong sense of command may run in front of you, leading you forward or leaving you behind. In addition, the softer dog may not respond to your calls and may even go elsewhere on its own.
3. Test the obedience ability
Turn the puppy over to the ground, press one hand on its chest at the same time, imprison it, and then look at the dog for half a minute, If the dog is constantly struggling during this process, and looks at you without fear, and his eyes do not evade, it means that the dog has a strong character and is generally more suitable for people with rich dog training
experience.
If the dog keeps struggling, and the eyes with you slowly become erratic, it means that the dog is relatively easy to train. If you can master the correct training method, you can exercise Dogs have high obedience.
But if the dog doesn’t move from head to tail, and his eyes keep wandering with you, it means that it is a “coward” and rarely causes trouble for you, but because of its cowardly personality , so if you want to let it housekeeping, it is not suitable.
