The Outgoing Dog Personality
Understanding The Outgoing Dog Personality
The outgoing is friendly and sociable being the personality that requires the most social interaction and human attention. The outgoing will make up the majority of your clients in Daycare as they have a tendency towards a high exercise requirement and separation anxiety. This works both for and against this personality type as they readily fit into any household and bond closely with the owners; yet have a tendency to end up at shelters due to destructive tendencies they exhibit when left alone.
The outgoing dog is a mixture of the confident and adaptable. Although generally mild mannered and amiable they can exhibiting the dominant traits of the confident with food or toys when left unchecked and the submissive traits of the adaptable showing a lack in self confidence in the presence of a strong human or canine leader. They tend to be well adjusted if they receive regular training and lots of exercise and have a flexible temperament that adapts well to different types of environments provided they are handled correctly. The outgoing personality tends to be of average or above average intelligence, and will be found in a lot of sporting and active breeds.
The outgoing dog is not compatible with the aggressive as they will meet force with force when confronted with the aggressive personality type or when pushed too far into submission they may act out aggressively or defensively as this is an uncomfortable situation for the outgoing.
The outgoing is compatible with both the confident and insecure as long as there is supervision. The tendency of the confident towards bullying may provoke the outgoing to act out aggressively which would result in an even more aggressive retaliation by the confident.
Another potential conflict between the confident and outgoing rests in the fact that the extroverted personality of the outgoing may initially be interpreted by the confident as a challenge due to the fact that the outgoing tends to be a bit pushy and uses a very up close and personal socialization style with other dogs.
The outgoing should also be supervised while interacting with the insecure as the outgoings pushy socialization style has a tendency to make the insecure feel threatened creating a situation in which the insecure may lash out to remove this perceived threat, this in turn will result in aggressive retaliation by the outgoing, thus further solidifying the insecure personality types fearful aggressive behavior towards other dogs.
The outgoing is highly compatible with the adaptable and independent providing a leadership role for the adaptable and a social outlet for the independent.
