| *Food |
| At dinner time, your dog: |
|
a.
Gobbles every
last bit the minute their bowl is put down, and sometimes takes half of your
hand with it, and possibly growls if you come anywhere near them!
|
|
b.
Barks and
demands their food to be served immediately
|
|
c.
Waits patiently
for their food to appear and then eats calmly |
| *Thresholds |
| When you open a door, your dog: |
a.
Barges past you, knocking everyone out of the way in their eagerness to get in or out
|
|
b.
Jumps up on you
and blocks the doorway |
|
c.
Waits patiently
for other family members to enter, then follows them in |
| *Greetings
|
When someone knocks on your door or rings the
doorbell, your dog:
|
|
a.
Becomes so
excited, their tail is wagging, they’re barking and can’t wait to greet and
jump on the visitor showing as much love and enthusiasm as possible
|
|
b.
Hides under the
couch, or barks at any visitor that comes their way
|
|
c.
Is interested to
see who has arrived, but they sit and wait patiently to gain the visitor’s
attention
|
| *Dog Park
|
| When you go to the dog park, your dog:
|
|
a.
Takes off,
greeting and playing with every dog and human possible and you’ll be lucky to
get them to come home
|
|
b.
Hides between
your legs, or growls and barks at the other dogs
|
|
c.
Plays nicely
with the other dogs, maintaining contact with you and returns to you the
first time they are called
|
| *Walking
|
| When you take your dog for a walk, they:
|
|
a.
Sniff every
bush, blade of grass, post, pole, dog, human and anything else that crosses
their path, walking around you in circles until you’re tied up in knots
|
|
b.
Become overly
excited or aggressive when approaching another dog and owner
|
|
c.
Walk beside you
without pulling, maintaining their focus on you and sitting at each kerb
|
| *Grooming
|
| When you groom your dog, they:
|
|
a.
Snap and growl
and you value your hands too much to risk grooming
|
|
b.
Hide and won’t
come anywhere near you – so you don’t bother trying any more
|
|
c.
Sit patiently
and wait until they look beautiful and they can show the world
|
| *Car travel
|
| When it’s time to take your dog in the car, they:
|
|
a.
Get overexcited,
jump up on the doors, jump all over the car, barking and terribly excited
about their adventure
|
|
b.
Hide and don’t
want a bar of it
|
|
c.
Jump into the car
on command, wait until they are in their harness or crate, and jump out on
command when you arrive
|
| *Home alone
|
| When you leave your dog home alone, they:
|
|
a.
Turn into
Houdini and do the great disappearing act, or if you have “escape proofed”
your yard, they have tried their hardest to gain freedom
|
|
b.
Bark all day
until you get home
|
|
c.
Play and sleep
the day away and wait patiently for your return
