What’s Your Dog’s Personality Type? Inspired by MBTI.
Ever wondered if your dog secretly has a full-blown personality profile? Like, not just "good boy" or "chaotic gremlin," but an actual MBTI personality type?
Yeah, we went there.
Turns out, dogs have their own vibe going on—and if you squint (and maybe stretch things a little), you can totally match them with human-style personality types.

Okay, but Seriously: Why Dog Personality Types Are Fun
Is this a hard science? Absolutely not.
Is it weirdly accurate sometimes? Absolutely yes.
Knowing your dog's personality type (even if it’s just for laughs) can actually help—like, figuring out why training one dog is a breeze and another one acts like you’re speaking Martian.
And honestly, it’s another excuse to look at your dog and say, “You are so weird and I love you.”
Which, let’s be real, is kind of the whole point.
