During meal times, my dog:

Eats eagerly and looks for more. "Whoa! That was great! Can I have more?"

Eats at a steady pace. "I like this and I'm going to enjoy this meal fully."

Eats quickly and may guard their food. "This is mine. Nobody touch."

Eats slowly or needs encouragement. "I'm not sure I want this today."

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."

How does your dog behave when left alone?

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."

May become anxious or destructive. "I'm a little bored. What can I chew on?"

Stays calm and waits patiently. "Ill wait. The humans will be home and I'll be here when they arrive."

4 / 11

In response to a new toy, my dog:

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?"

Takes time to get familiar with it. "What is this new thing? Better smell it first."

Takes charge, grabs it and gets right to playing. "Let's PLAY!"

5 / 11

During walks, my dog:

Is curious and playful with others. "Hey! Wanna play? Do ya?"

Pulls on the leash, leading the way. "Let's GO!"

Stays close and is cautious. "Don't leave me, human!"

Walks steadily by your side. "This is my human and we are going places – together."

6 / 11

When a stranger comes to the door, my dog:

Wags tail and seems excited. "YAY! Someone's here!"

Stays calm and observes from a distance. "Hmmm, I wonder who it is?"

Barks loudly (and often) and runs to the door. "Hey! There's a stranger!"

Stays close and is cautious. "Don't leave me, human."

7 / 11

In a new environment, my dog:

Is excited and investigates everything. "Wow! A new place? How fun!"

Stays close to you and seems nervous. "Guide me human. This is scary."

Takes time to get comfortable. "Give me a minute before I sniff it out."

Explores confidently and is unfazed. "Relax. I'll check it out."

8 / 11

When encountering a small obstacle in their path (like a low step or a new rug), my dog:

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."

Seems unsure or hesitant. "Human, I'm not sure about this. What should I do?"

Quickly figures out a way over or around it. "Get this out of my way – I've got things to do."

9 / 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."

Is laid back and avoids conflicts. "No need to come closer. I'm good."

Tends to dominate, hump and lead the play. "Let's play rough!"

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!"

May be hesitant to try or give up. "What is this? Will it hurt me? I'm not sure."

Tries eagerly but may lose interest. "If I can't win quickly, I don't want to play."

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 react to a change in routine?

Shows hesitation but adapts gradually. "I'm not sure about this."

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!"

Adapts quickly and takes charge. "New place? No problem. I've got this."

Woof! You’re done.
