Interesting . . . dog personality profiler

I'm bored , here are my results for the terrorist:

Prey - 50
Pack - 60
Fight - 30
Flight - 17

She's on the borderline for a lot of the explanations as to what the numbers mean. I have already figured out what training methods work with her, hand signals work best but it's good to read something that backs up my own thoughts. I'm not sure how accurate this is though as I've answered the questions based on her current behaviour and I think the pack score is higher due to a hell of a lot of time spent on training and entertaining her and letting her sleep in my bed. The scores are post-effort rather than based on the blank slate. Is there any point doing this same test with the pup?

Share your results so I have something to compare. (make four columns on a piece of paper and write the answers down that way) I had to do it twice as I didn't understand what I was doing as I answered before reading through to the end :rolleyes:.

There's an 'e' to many in the original

Sorry, I must have typed in the address bar by accident before I copied it

prey 74

pack 69

fight 45

flight 14

doesnt surprise me in the slightest. she'd rather be up a tree after a squirrel than fighting

I did the pup, I guess it's a big reflection of the breed (Sheltie) him being a pup but some of the answers are just my best interpretation as he's still pre-vac's so doesn't get out and is still a baby.

Prey - 47
Pack - 69
Fight - 26
Flight - 47

My interpretation of it is if Pack is over 60 training is likely to be unproblematic.

Zapperzy

Prey- 63
Pack- 58
Fight- 26
Flight- 18

He's an independant stubborn little git of a terrier. Hand signals work best along with food and toys, interestingly I do find if he doesn't respond the first time leaning my body ever so slightly forward over him and repeating the command a little firmer works.

planetX

my lurcher came out with

Prey 66
Pack 58
Fight 18
Flight 59

I'm surprised his Flight wasn't higher as he got a lot of 10s, but he got a few zeros on peeing when greeting, biting when cornered and being reluctant to come when called. I'm not sure those questions were balanced right.

Nala my bull mastiff x got

Prey 62
Pack 63
Fight 25
Flight 36

Was interesting to read!

Seb_bixby

Prey 65
Pack 73
Fight 41
Flight 25

He's a Bichon/ jack russell cross. Picked up all the commands using treat and hand signal. Will respond to just the hand signal now without having to say the word. He's young yet so it'll change over time. Very interesting reading!! Thanks OP.

Interesting, it's pretty cool just to sit down and evaluate your dogs behaviour and what it means.

For my 18 month old Boxer I got:

Prey: 58
Pack: 73
Fight: 36
Flight: 23

I found with all 4 categories for my terrier they were mostly 10's or zeros, and quite a few of the zeros were 10s when she was a puppy :pac:

same with dolly. thats typical terrier though. all or nothing!

Very interesting!

I did the youngest, and am not that surprised by the results:
prey 54
pack 80
fight 33
flight 28

She is my shadow dog, and loves to learn things

I think teh eldest would have a slightly lower pack score, probably with an increase in fight/prey - i'll figure it out later

Narsil

My GSD came out:

43 - Prey
60 - Pack
39 - Fight
36 - Flight

He's a super dog/human friendly, goofy galah!

metaoblivia

My Italian Greyhound/Pug came out:

Prey - 70
Pack - 72
Fight - 40
Flight - 37

That's about right for him. He's so friendly, but has so much energy, gets into everything and loves to play! He's our shadow and incredibly subordinate.

Prey - 58
Pack - 66
Fight - 26
Flight - 46

Kali_Kalika

I did my girl (Cross Breed of ?? Border Collie ?? Setter ?? Spaniel ??)

Results of:

Total Prey 49
Total Pack 73
Total Fight 43
Total Flight 65



It was interesting to analyze her training and all of that so far - I've known our weak areas but this at least made me admit to them! :P:D So now that they've been highlighted I think its time to work on them :rolleyes:

chris139ryan

My little shih tzu x bichon is just 6 months old, so some answers could change with age :
Prey 59
Pack 76
Fight 47
Flight 32
He's very brave for a little fellow, but cautious at the same time.

edit : interesting how the bichon x jack russell above has similar scores.

Harley

Prey 59
Pack 62
Fight 51
Flight 47

Phoe

Prey 33
Pack 69
Fight 34
Flight 11

Delancey

About as scientific as reading tea leaves - still all a bit of harmless fun I guess.

Whispered

Yeah, doesn't mean a whole lot, Harleys scores are all so close it means very little. He's an all rounder

Phoe scored very highly on "pack" and lowest on "flight" which is exactly what I would have expected.
