Character Analysis for Dog Trainers – Harmonizing Dog-Human Teams with the DISC Model

One of the main tasks of a dog trainer is to modify a dog-human team. Regardless of whether clients come due to aggression, fear, or hunting problems, one of the steps that must be taken is to change the team. Ultimately, this means more and more dog trainers are becoming a kind of coach in dealing with the dog-human team. To work as a coach, it is essential to know yourself, your strengths and weaknesses, and to be able to reflect in conflict situations. It is also helpful to recognize people in their facets and to understand what drives them, how to motivate each person, or recognize their fears.

The DISC personality model is a personality classification usually used for team coaching. It serves to better understand oneself and others, to recognize strengths and behaviors, and to better assess individual weaknesses. This classification can be used not only very well for discussions with clients but also for classifying dogs.

Content:

• What kind of person am I and what are my strengths?
• How do I recognize what type of person is in front of me and what do I need to consider in communication with this client?
• What do I need to consider in the respective training steps with my client (motivation, recognizing strengths and weaknesses)?
• How do I quickly recognize different dog types and thereby understand their behavior?
• How do I explain the interaction between the client and their dog using the DISC model in a few words?
• Which dog types can I easily socialize?
• Which people and dogs are a good match and what do I need to consider?
