Temperament in dogs refers to the way a dog reacts to stimuli or situations. It is how a dog thinks, behaves, and reacts to things. A dog's reaction to stimuli or situations can include: curiosity, fear, aggression, etc. Research indicates that dogs (like humans) tend to have a general personality type. Although breed can play a role in a dog's overall temperament, it is mainly based on each individual dog. These natural traits of the dog can be weakened or strengthened through life experiences. Raising your dog in a positive environment while giving him positive experiences, will help shape a good overall disposition in your dog.

3) Nervous, anxious
4) Hyper, excitable
5) Calm, low-energy
6) Aggressive, combative
