How much your dogs are like you, the owner?

Diva has gone back and forth between me and her co owner since she was little. I can tell you she acts quite differently with me than with her co owner. She tends to be more relaxed and listens better with me. She lays down in the house and sleeps. Whereas with her co owner, she drives her crazy sometimes(restless) and tends not to listen as well and becomes quite "stubborn". It could be that the things she does just doesn't brother me as much so the behavior have faded.

Do you think that the difference in her behaviour could be exercise-related? I know that Miko is way more unsettled and restless when he hasn't had enough exercise for a few days.

Actually no, because she runs all day long there and becomes back to me feeling like a piece of iron. I really have to work to get her exercise in here.

It could come down the obedience training as I have trained 90% of the behaviors she knows . Though her co owner is a very good trainer, we do have different styles. I am also more laid back personality wise.

Just like Jaime is a nut with me, I guess. I am good time Charlie in his mind. :lol: I have done zero training with that boy just play so he is crazy when he sees me.

I would never say the Ellie is a "people dog." She likes who she likes and doesn't like who she doesn't like. That's exactly like me! :lol:

If Maggie doesn't like someone.....I'm leary of them too!!!! My DH has a friend that comes around occasionally, and personally, I don't care for him. When he's here, Maggie will stand in front of me and growl ever so slightly at him. AND, she's doesn't allow him to walk towards me at all!!
 
Well, my hair has this wicked cowlick and Marlowe has wavy fur...

Oh, wait, you meant behaviour... :lol:

I would have to say that Marlowe and I are not much alike in personality. He is Mr. Social--friendly, outgoing, happy-go-lucky. I tend to be introverted and reserved.
 
I dunno

Bacca is such a couch potatoe and I think Indy is plain crazy. Yet, Bacca is still the dominant one. When Bacca says its time to eat, then its time to eat....and that means NOW! But Indy just wants to be loved, loved, loved (and fed!)

I guess that fits. I'm an introverted extrovert. Give me my space when I want to chill out. But I love my attention too! :lol::o
 
Among other things, my boy was extremely smart, extremely eager to please, and had an excellent memory. He constantly studied everything that I did and said, with the goal of making me happy.

I guess, over the years, he molded his personality to perfectly match me, because he was my total soul mate. He was 100% perfect in every way.
 
I've always said that Lexi is a bit like me. She wants to always be doing something. If she sits around all day, the day is wasted.

Bentley is like my husband. Totally content to lounge on the couch all day long :lol:
