The Adaptable Dog Personality
Understanding The Adaptable Dog Personality
The adaptable dog requires the least amount of supervision as he will adapt well and fit into most situations with ease. The adaptable is easy to handle, eager to please, cooperative and readily accepts either human or canine leadership due to their naturally submissive nature. The adaptable is a mixture of the outgoing and insecure, tending to be somewhat shy, reserved or fearful when initially thrust into a new situation, yet fitting in quickly and exhibiting some extroverted traits to a lesser extent than a true outgoing. The adaptable will rarely if ever resort to violence in the resolution of disputes tending to lean more towards pure submission when confronted with an aggressive or confident type. However, as with any animal when pushed too far or placed in a position where they are fearful, they could snap or momentarily lash out in a defensive nature, tending to immediately follow this with further attempts at submission.
You will find this personality type easy to intimidate. In the presence of an overly strong human leader there is a tendency to misdiagnose them as having been previously abused due to the fact that they naturally lean towards the traits of the insecure as a method of finding their place in the pack. The general demeanor of the adaptable is gentle and affectionate and they make high quality family pets. They have a higher tolerance to being left alone than the outgoing or confident types and they will demonstrate less destructive or separation anxiety related behaviors.
The adaptable shows no real potential for conflict with any of the other personalities tending to have good compatibility with all. This is another reason that they make a great family pet as there is less concern about personality conflicts for families that already have another dog.
