What’s Your Dog’s Personality Paw-File? Take this short quiz to determine your dog’s Personality Paw-File and learn how to train, connect and bond with your furry best friend based on their Personal BARKType. 🙂 1 / 11 During meal times, my dog: Eats eagerly and looks for more. "Whoa! That was great! Can I have more?" Eats slowly or needs encouragement. "I’m not sure I want this today." Eats quickly and may guard their food. "This is mine. Nobody touch." Eats at a steady pace. "I like this and I’m going to enjoy this meal fully." 2 / 11 How does your dog react to a change in routine? Appears stressed or uncomfortable. "What happened? Where’s my bowl? Now what?" Seems excited by the new experience. "Whoa! Smells galore – let’s check it out!" Shows hesitation but adapts gradually. "I’m not sure about this." Adapts quickly and takes charge. "New place? No problem. I’ve got this." 3 / 11 When playing with other dogs, my dog: Is friendly and enjoys socializing (and butt sniffing). "Great to meet you!" Is reserved and may prefer watching. "I’ll just stay here and see what’s going." Tends to dominate, hump and lead the play. "Let’s play rough!" Is laid back and avoids conflicts. "No need to come closer. I’m good." 4 / 11 During walks, my dog: Walks steadily by your side. "This is my human and we are going places – together." Pulls on the leash, leading the way. "Let’s GO!" Is curious and playful with others. "Hey! Wanna play? Do ya?" Stays close and is cautious. "Don’t leave me, human!" 5 / 11 In response to a new toy, my dog: Takes charge, grabs it and gets right to playing. "Let’s PLAY!" Takes time to get familiar with it. "What is this new thing? Better smell it first." Shows excitement and eagerness but not grabby. "Please, PLEASE can I have the toy?" Is cautious or indifferent. "Really? You want me to play with THAT?" 6 / 11 When it comes to training sessions, my dog: Is enthusiastic but easily distracted. "Squirrel! What’s that over there? Oh, I forgot." Is independent and can be stubborn. "Nope. Not today. I’m in charge here." Is quiet and may need encouragement. "I’m not sure about this." Is patient and consistent. "I like that we learn this way every time." 7 / 11 When a stranger comes to the door, my dog: Barks loudly (and often) and runs to the door. "Hey! There’s a stranger!" Wags tail and seems excited. "YAY! Someone’s here!" Stays close and is cautious. "Don’t leave me, human." Stays calm and observes from a distance. "Hmmm, I wonder who it is?" 8 / 11 When encountering a small obstacle in their path (like a low step or a new rug), my dog: Quickly figures out a way over or around it. "Get this out of my way – I’ve got things to do." Seems unsure or hesitant. "Human, I’m not sure about this. What should I do?" Approaches the obstacle with curiosity. "Hey! What’s this? A new toy? Let’s play!" Pauses to assess or sniff it calmly. "I’ll navigate this cautiously. It might bite." 9 / 11 In a new environment, my dog: Stays close to you and seems nervous. "Guide me human. This is scary." Is excited and investigates everything. "Wow! A new place? How fun!" Explores confidently and is unfazed. "Relax. I’ll check it out." Takes time to get comfortable. "Give me a minute before I sniff it out." 10 / 11 When faced with a challenge (like a puzzle toy), my dog: Works on it steadily and calmly. "I know there’s a good treat in there somewhere – must find it!" Tries eagerly but may lose interest. "If I can’t win quickly, I don’t want to play." May be hesitant to try or give up. "What is this? Will it hurt me? I’m not sure." Tackles it head-on with determination. "I don’t know what this is and I don’t care – I want it!" 11 / 11 How does your dog behave when left alone? May become anxious or destructive. "I’m a little bored. What can I chew on?" Is independent and handles it well. "I think I’ll nap for a while and enjoy my time alone." Shows signs of stress or anxiety. "Will they ever come back? I’m worried." Stays calm and waits patiently. "Ill wait. The humans will be home and I’ll be here when they arrive." Woof! You’re done.
