keep fighting dog!

GM - gotta have that dawg in you

I'm this type of dog

Great metaphor, this also says something about nature versus nurture.

Some people are predisposed to different things as part of their genes/nature. Can’t make every dog a retriever.

Seems accurate to me. The dog's temperament should also match the owner's, you are a team afterall. A softer dog under a hard, demanding owner doing field trials may quit under tough conditions - cold wet and miles of work.

On the flip side, an independent dog that was the dominant brute of the litter, paired with an owner that can't enforce the rules consistently or give him enough hard work, will be a pest and a delinquent brat.

I prefer a middle of the pack dog, that must be the kind of owner I am. I fight when I can, but sometimes you just need to paddle with the current awhile in order to miss the rocks.

In the words of Mike Ritland, he’s looking for potential Military Working Dogs to have a prey drive of 12 / 10. Let’s continue to be MWDs and get after it! No lying down!

I’m the dog that keeps fighting for what truly matters, stacking sats, building, and not giving up until the system works. Some days I chill, some days I train, but the important battles never stop.

Eh. I disagree.

i dont think it helps to categorize puppies this way

it is just about relating

a puppy that has to pee will fight to get off their back even if they are otherwise chill

as in, situational

and sure, in general, a very trusting puppy doesnt mind like 'oh maybe this is a belly rub thing, im in' but that can quickly change if you then hurt that puppy or hold them down too long

like to the puppy this is: are we friends or are you psycho

sure a puppy with inherent stranger danger views everyone as psycho until proven otherwise, a more anxious alert dog, a more watchful careful one

variation for women?

"Gently, lightly, firmly" yeah, I'm cool with that.

I’m that stubborn dog that does what it wants, doesn’t train very well when told what to do, and still pisses wherever it wants. I’ve even been known to hump the air.

i am the dog that falls asleep lmao

Fights are motivating, but winning is empty if you can’t enjoy it.

How did so many people respond without reading the last 2 paragraphs?

'Fighting' is too vague for me, sorry.

I did this to my dog for the first ~6 months of him being a mildly disobedient puppy. Lightly but firmly held him on his back when he was misbehaving until he submitted. He is the most obedient dog I’ve ever had now.

I'll be your huckleberry.

I'm more of a cat person myself...

Im just a Dawg lol

I would probably be the kind of dog that if you tried to put me on my back at all, I'd probably bite you.

What you say?!?

I’m the dog who stays in the corner because I don’t want you to pick me and take me home.

I think it's a good metaphor. But it needs bit of warning too. Nature more often than not punishes those that are not able to live by it's rules. Nature doesn't give a fuck about "what i want" and "how i am born". She roots out those that can not adapt. So, being too suborn and non changing, can be negative trait too.

Only thing that is constant in whole universe is change.

I'm the dog with a dangerous half guard. Lockdown to Electric Chair coming right up. I believe every serious man should take 100 bjj classes, 100 crossfit classes, and 100 Arthur Murray dance classes before they decide on a career path.

is there a part of the test where the dog reacts differently with different people, and he picks u? as in it connects to someone.. Which would translate maybe to "Pick the fights worth it"

Mostly I’ll fight to get what i want. Depends on how important the particular result is.

If I know it will get me out of the pound, I'll be dog C.

Never give up

And what if it’s been god holding you the entire time?

Debunked

I'm the dog who keeps quite until it's time to strike 😏

Awesome post!

Gotta have that dog in you

Well interesting but eventually doggo doesn’t really get what he wants does he? As human gets what they want so not sure about this analogy tbh. Unless doggo does the work and gets a treat but still doesn’t get complete freedom… I don’t things dogs really want freedom that’s more for cats

I am the third type, but most people are not.

Are you the dog who uses ChatGPT?

DMX is my dawg
