Think about your dog's everyday habits and answer 10 quick questions. We'll reveal which of six fun dog personalities fits your pup best.

How this dog personality quiz works

This quiz is for dog owners. Think about how your dog usually behaves, not how it acted on its best or worst day, and answer 10 quick questions about walks, naps, visitors and play. Each answer points toward one of six fun dog personalities: the velcro dog, the explorer, the class clown, the couch potato, the guardian and the social butterfly. Your dog’s result is the type that showed up most often.

It takes about a minute, there’s no sign-up, and your answers are scored in your browser. If you share your home with more than one dog, take it once for each of them and compare. Siblings and housemates often turn out to be complete opposites. If an answer doesn’t fit at all, choose the one that is closest. There are no wrong answers, and every result is something to celebrate.

An honest note

This is a lighthearted quiz, not a behavioral assessment. Dogs are individuals, and most show a mix of all six styles depending on age, energy, health and the situation. A puppy may look like a class clown today and settle into a couch potato in a few years. If you notice sudden changes in your dog’s behavior or energy, a chat with your vet is always the best next step, and a certified positive-reinforcement trainer can help with any training goals.

What to do with your result

  • Use your result to pick activities your dog will love, from sniff walks for explorers to trick training for class clowns and quiet cuddle time for couch potatoes.
  • Share the result with your family or dog walker and see if they agree. Other people often notice habits you have stopped seeing.
