Disposition Test
Disposition metrics measure your dog’s emotional operating system—the behind-the-scenes settings that shape how they handle stress, build relationships, stay motivated, and express themselves. Unlike temperament, which is more hardwired, these traits are flexible. They’re influenced by learning, environment, and neuroplasticity, which means we can actually shift them over time through intentional training. Each metric lives on a spectrum, and where your dog falls helps explain the “why” behind their behavior. A dog with low Composure might bark or bolt at the slightest disruption; one with low Connection might seem standoffish or uninterested in bonding.
Here’s the deeper truth: personality is just behavior repeated over time. And behavior is driven by disposition. So when we adjust these emotional dials—when we actively reshape how a dog responds to their world—we're not just solving behavior problems. We’re reshaping the patterns that make up their personality. This is where real, sustainable change begins—from the inside out.
