Personality Analysis for Dogs – Using the Big Five Model

Every dog has a unique personality that shapes its behavior. Some are bursting with energy and a desire to explore, while others are cautious and reserved. But no matter how different they are, they all have one thing in common: their personality influences how they perceive the world, cope with challenges, and build relationships.
Understanding this uniqueness helps you as an owner to better interpret your dog's behaviors, avoid misunderstandings, and specifically address their needs. For you as a dog trainer, understanding a dog's personality can be helpful in designing and adapting training individually.
However, sometimes personality is overshadowed by trauma, unrecognized stressors, or misunderstandings due to inappropriate expectations – this can mean that the dog's personality doesn't always show itself obviously, and that requires special attention.
In this webinar, we will develop practical approaches on how to effectively use personality analysis in your training and daily life. Through concrete examples, you will learn how to use the insights from personality analysis to enrich the coexistence between humans and dogs and strengthen their bond. This webinar is aimed at interested dog owners and dog trainers who want to expand their knowledge and learn an even more individual and well-founded approach.

Learn in this webinar:
• the basics of personality analysis according to the "Big Five" model,
• the origins and background of the concept of personality analysis,
• limitations and possibilities of the method,
• how a dog's personality influences daily life and training,
• how to specifically work with personality analysis in training
• and how it can help to better understand dogs and promote them more effectively.
