Types of Dogs

It is important to realize, however, that there was no proper dog. Each group has a typological characteristics, but can not determine the boundaries between the various types. if you know your dog and his behavior objectively evaluate the manifestations is prevalent, it is relatively easy to find, whether it’s melancholic, sanguine, choleric and phlegmatic.
And What are the psychological characteristics of the individual dog?

Melancholic

Character: fear, shyness, nervousness, insecurity, mistrust, low soustředivost, melancholy defenzivita appointed by the four groups and the most problematic to understand and respect the character to the most demanding owners.
Dogs melancholics very mentally unstable. There are two types are distinguished:
nervousness and lack of concentration – we see them in smoothness, responsiveness to external stimuli sometimes hysterical. They ustekany – their vocalizations prevention basically “intimidation”.
relatively quiet – but we see in it a number of anxiety and uncertainty. Embodied voice is much less than the first group. Everything seemed quiet and shy dogs.
Melancholy often see the fear. They do not need to find a new and unknown. Even before the alleged escape danger and often hide under the provisions of the corner, under the bed, under the car. Especially in a foreign environment in constant alert. In the event that they feel threatened and can not escape or hide, react with aggression. Stressful or uncomfortable situation for them often incontinent. Dogs of both groups had low self-esteem. Strangers and suspicious objects, it is difficult to contact with other dogs, strangers to have over long distances. When training is interrupted, do not concentrate on the instructor or surgery is needed. Their training is very difficult, often impossible. He commands can cause melancholy sharper literally closing in on itself. Physical punishment or harsher treatment completely out of the question – the long-term consequences, if not permanent. Melancholy, few ever could provoke spontaneous antics and excitement. This dog is most felt at home in the popular indoor habitat, by children or other people he really did not do well. Need some peace of mind, minimal impulse, regularity stereotypes. Ill be getting used to the new environment and society – adaptation is a long process. Melancholy shows insecurity and posture. As if revealing grip: tail carried low, or curled up under his belly, legs bent and decreased trunk, head lowered, ears laid back and low, the muscles of the face off. When they feel insecure, we see his eyes wandering. Indeed, it was only released in a familiar environment.
Living with melancholy is not easy, but not impossible, as can be inferred from the characteristics. If melancholy adequately maintained, the owner will help boost self-esteem, especially during the beginning of his devotion and devote sufficient attention, the side effects can not be developed. With such an approach could also be a delightful companion melancholy. But it requires a great understanding of the owner to instability, but which in any case should not cause undue pampering. In this case, a certain melancholy behavior might escalate to unbearable. This dog has a tendency to be jealous according to one member of the family, causing more problems, because you surely everyone can imagine. Melancholy satisfaction in a quiet family, or an ideal companion lonely man happy in isolation, as well as the dog. The owners are totally committed melancholy, keeping his men at every opportunity.

Shrewish

Character: courage, energy, activity, relentless, curious, restless, malignancy, spontaneity, hyperactive energy offended dog is the epitome of perseverance, courage and dexterity. Strangely, sometimes suddenly discovered something new. Certainly not without courage. It is very active, especially in youth to persevere. He can spontaneously rejoice, for example, the ritual greeting upon arrival the owner border with malignancy. Activity makes the problem remains calm. He has a strong tendency to dominate and random contact with rivals gave impetus to the confrontation. Grilled or titillating offended just slowly calm down.

Dog training is given fineness and anxiety is quite challenging. Requires discipline, consistency and consistency, but coercion is not rude! In this case the dog stops working. In practice it is necessary to work with the dog in “small doses”, but with repetition. Easy to learn to take, overcome obstacles, while type exercises sitting – lying – stop and put off making a pretty big problem. Grumpy really belong in the hands of an experienced and patient instructors who can backlash in time to streamline.
Good attitude and master cholerici ideal for dynamic sports such as agility, jumping work, is tireless retriever and guide owners sporty. She loves to walk around and tackle long tour honors without losing your enthusiasm.
Dogs know easily offended by posture: muscle tone is still high, tail held high, often completely lifted. Also holds his head high, sustained facial expressions reveal tension and expression of curiosity. In contact with another dog is excited, often feathery hair on the back and shoulders.
Grumpy not included in everyone’s hand. When poor leadership and temperament of the person’s neusmÄ›rnÄ›ní easily be turned into a dog set the environment and have a fighting terror without end. The owner must have the authority, to prove the calm and consistent handling extreme situations, but also in the approach to avoid them

Optimistic

Character: lively, docile, sober, sociable, friendly. In containers tend to have clear authority optimistic ideal dog is a dog. It was very moving, but not reckless. Quickly respond to stimuli, its manifestations are the same, think about the same name. In situations not yet seen losing ground “under”. Sangvinici relaxed, confident and very friendly in relation to people and other dogs. They can not be provoked into aggressive or defensive reaction to an extreme. In packaging the lead dog position, or (in other sangvinicích in Sochi) high position. They are respected for their natural authority, without her having to consolidate often clashes with the lower rank. Optimistic abuzz can easily calm and after a while they can concentrate fully. Sangvinicky dog ​​ever, although sometimes unwittingly, follows its owner around and events. This soustredivy, accept and pay attention to orders, willingly and cheerfully do the job. Lightweight educate and train, learn long to remember. Sanguine is a very nice friend, suitable for all ages owner. In short handle various situations are adaptable. Of course we can say that it is a very powerful dog. Well Particularly important are therapy dogs, rescue efforts, but also in training other breed and purpose. Optimistic posture expressed confidence, relaxed and calm, which gives the impression of elegance. Muscle tension is always right circumstances, facial expressions clearly reflect the level of concentration or relaxation. We can say that this dog is “read and easy.”
According to the description – optimistic is a dog that can accommodate even very high standard. Perhaps everyone would like to have a dog as a balanced and reliable.

Stoic

Character: peace, slowness, doubt, patience, a little sexiness Phlegmatic calm, as if the dog tilted closed and sober. In a situation develops more slowly navigate. React less obvious than other types, but it lags really does not mean stupidity or lower intelligence! Sometimes we feel that it is a slower motor. But do not be fooled! Phlegmatic can be as fast as other dogs, but they must have a real reason. Antics in the game and did not have the spirit, as is typical with the offense or optimistic. Flegmatici generally friendly and relaxed. In this package are not enforced, seek or provoke unrest. If apathetic attack, he can defend very hard. It grows less rapid change and adaptation to different conditions makes it a problem. Dog training as it requires patience, learning slowly but firmly to keep learning. Rapid transition from one action to another tough deal. Delay, sit-lie-stop, running along without a guide so do not make the slightest problem. Rarely can be very dynamic, but rarely achieve such optimistic results. Phlegmatic has a relaxed posture, movement does not need to rush. The dog’s expression reflects certain virtues are sometimes supportive.
Placid dog suitable for calm, or the elderly. You can not rely on the fact that apathy shines on the racetrack or other activities where you need speed and reaction are very flexible. Phlegmatic well tolerated by the children, if they play it enough, the download is beyond their reach. Living with apathy is not “dramatic”, but it is often very pleasant and comfortable literal

Psychological Mezitypy

In the previous text we have become familiar with the different psychological types of dogs – melancholy, irritability, apathy and Sanguine.
No owner of a dog barking does not expect that his friend would behave and demonstrate clear boundaries. Every dog ​​is an individual who has a unique character. With that we expect and respect, as well as unparalleled beauty, but often for humans and the big question.
Every dog ​​owner should know your dog (unfortunately not always the case), be aware of the specific conduct and character.
If we try to incorporate your dog into a psychological group, we have to take into account mezitypy.

Certain types manifests as described previously (of course descriptions for individual species can not fully express the perfect individual characteristics because they are always a bit different).
Mezityp bears the distinctive features of the behavior of one species with greater or lesser tolerance towards other species.
Mezitypy symptoms vary greatly in combination. It is therefore not possible to list all of their options, because they are listed only the most basic. Everyone can evaluate your dog’s behavior is relatively easy to create a profile and specify the type of psychological, or mezityp.

Sanguine – apathy
Appointed Mezityp relatively frequent in the group. Uncomplicated puppy education and cooperation in good training. Dogs actually react but less eager to perform tasks. This dog is relaxed, not at all looking for a fight in packs uphold leadership post. Well seamlessly integrate into society and become accustomed to the new environment and conditions.

Sanguine – offense
Puppy training should be consistent and behavior carefully manipulated. When the train individuals to act frequent replacement. Dogs respond quickly, yet easy odpoutatelná attention to external stimuli. Is excited, so contact with other dogs, although not for ordinary battle, but can easily destroy them. Its incorporation into the existing package is more complicated, because the initial efforts attract high position.

Sanguine – Melancholic
Really kind of psychological conflict and because it does not happen.

Melancholy – offense
This combination is almost unimaginable, but individuals of this mezitypy there. But this is the first melancholiacs types (see above). This dog, especially in situations of extreme, excessive, or when threats can move into position offended. However, we have to distinguish whether it’s hysterical speech, which is not always very easy. It could be argued that they are impossible to predict response. This dog has never offended distinctive features such as courage, enthusiasm, courage, self-confidence and pursue domination etc.. Still dominated by their melancholy. Their education is very challenging, even for patience and calm owner. In understanding the complex nature and art to handle it but maybe with the dog quite comfortably assimilate.

Melancholy – Phlegmatic
These include a combination of both types of melancholy. It occurs more frequently than previously mezityp. This dog under certain conditions can reach the position of passive resistance, especially during episodes of stress, if left neglected, loss of amenities and the like. Never, however, was not so friendly to the environment, as stoic and without peace. Once again, as with the previous mezitypy lose their characteristic symptoms, you are always superior manifestation of apathy. Training is very demanding.

Apathy – offense
Really kind of psychological conflict and because it does not exist.
Although the behavior of dogs showing obvious signs of the dominant psychological type and even a little further, it is necessary for coexistence, but also in education and training just ignore this character. If we accept – let’s say – I have a dog, I’m sure our communication with him will be much easier.

Communities and inclusion

At an early age for a puppy to learn which groups are most likely psychological ownership (any dog ​​breeders know that babies seem to manifest their properties). Therefore, when choosing your puppy can identify individuals with whom we liked each other “peace”. At this point, it is important to know what to expect in the future dog – (eg, apathetic dog hard in the future to meet our ambitions agility, melancholy not satisfied members pack, etc.) the conditions in which to live, what can we give course – just what our capabilities, strengths and possibilities.
However, something that is often overlooked – is important to know yourself!
(Melancholic Mood offended person does not have to take the dog, and the dog grumpy kind of melancholy. Which would be torture waiting for them, can we imagine.) Education courses, access and understanding, care, environment, personality and authority, and many other influences “in December “dog behavior. And it is true that it is always about him directing and designing. Therefore, when choosing a puppy closely watching the behavior – Assertive, aggressive, scared, lazy … and evaluate the environment in which they live in the first stage of your life, what condition is the key to the formation of filial psychic dog. It is very good to know the parents of the puppy.
I definitely do not make judgments about the dog for a half hour visit breeders and also good breeder will allow new entrants to the dog several “visits”. After all, it’s a dog’s life for many years … When choosing a puppy, we know what we have an idea about dogs. What kind of dog that you want to make a pumpkin grows. It makes a difference whether a child is “only child” live in the company of people, or will I have another dog or other partners.
In the first case, the situation is much simpler. Dogs must adapt to human society, and the public on the second dog.
Education and the establishment of “child” is always more time. Usually, it is observed, directing and said, “shape the image of the owner.” But also pampered and often, unfortunately, and discipline – which is not to say that “nejedináčků” This may also occur.
If you plan to stay long term in the dog family dog ​​”soloist”, we estimate or determine the ability of their dogs, and sagging condition, the easier options. (Of course, almost everyone wants a balanced and confident optimistic, with which the “deal” that simple.) In the second case, we very well know the nature and manifestation of his dog, hierarchical relationships etc pack. Under these conditions, and knowledge we are able to (with a good selection) wall made life unpleasant, if not then sweeten well. And finally, ourselves, because harmonious pack is really unpleasant.
(It is understood that the dog enclosed or hysterical melancholy in a pack will not have a bed of roses. Remain always on the edge of society and higher status individuals, especially cholerici, giving him a hard time.) Here it should be noted, how formed by natural pride and what a pack of domestic dogs.
Natural pack formation is a long-term process, continuous and selective. This comes from a family partnership and community members, the voluntary departure of the individual, but also the improper exclusion individual computing needs pack, trophy area, natural conditions, etc.. Also, the incorporation of new animals. The arrival of a new dog or bitch in a package that is still far from efficient process. First of all, must be a new member of the pack “instead of”. Not everyone is allowed to join. A beginner might disrupt elements must be able to adapt to Sochi respect for hierarchy and rules of coexistence. Must be healthy both physically and psychologically. In each case must be valid, for example, contributing member of the pack. Given how organisms naturally perfect pack it, how to be the perfect combination to survive not only the nearest time horizon, but for the future of their own offspring, the rules have to be very loud, clear and uncompromising. And it’s all in the harsh natural conditions. Weak, members inappropriate or antisocial pack will not only brake and load, but will actually harm him and could bring destruction.
Pack house is always human form. Even when there is no attempt to build a perfect society dog ​​on maximum knowledge and respect for the rule can not provide a perfect opportunity for the emergence of natural communities. It was always, at best, on the principle of trial and error. Therefore, when entering a new member to an existing package inevitable important to carefully consider where the individual fits and what does not.
Even in prošlechtěných and opečovávaných dogs living with humans for thousands of years, held atavism. Human impact on the psyche of the dog can be great, but the atavistic behavior is still strong. That we can only be happy because mentally healthy dog ​​social behavior, straightforward, direct. In understanding this meeting we can avoid a lot of mistakes.
Humans are part of the “pack them”. Every day affairs harm, both passive and active. He also has a great impact on the harmony and coexistence. But it can not intervene in the hierarchy of the actual dog. Although essentially a leader, ranking status dogs always produce their own dogs. They themselves know best, which is actually the most capable, which from their point of view in accordance with the ideal and necessary authority. (Even the two dogs have their own hierarchy.) One can intervene in a fight, or choose to protect individual defensive or weak, but the true hierarchy changes. Leader underdog ever done. Quite the contrary! Dog in front of him while respecting, or rather tolerate a weak individual. When they go from “just” a human hand, the position of the pack again naturally regulate and poor is calculated with interest. And the dog’s life like this is really sad. It is clear that it is always in Sochi will be the “head” and natural “tail”. But that does not mean that even the latter in order to be expressed by otloukánkem. And to avoid such a case, it is necessary to very carefully consider the dog in the pack has a good future and who will enjoy the suffering abound.

The combination of psychological type dog in the pack

Setting the dog is really a complicated process. The arrival of new people into the packaging should be very deliberate and if we are in a package for maintaining peace and harmony, we choose new arrival dog or bitch with great sensitivity. Also, we chose the right time – for example, we take “newbies” by the time we women are high levels of pregnancy, or my little dog, etc., so that the dog can disrupt the relationship between early.

Of course we have to take into account the fact that if the new members will be adult, will be in the first days of the packaging is more or less tension. There is no one who will not voluntarily want to backtrack and go down the stairs from the lower levels of the hierarchy. Therefore, we can expect a clash not only with a new dog, you will want sooner or later assert, but perhaps among natives. If you change the natural smečková hierarchy, for example, due to the increased frequency of dogs age, everything usually goes smoothly, often secretly. If there will be a new adult, dramatic progress. In the event that the puppy, the event will be quieter. Young dog will naturally result to adult authority, and if it still exceeds some taboo, will very quickly be fixed.

It is good to remember that dogs are very conservative and stick to their customs and rules.
