Behavior Drives

Hey guys, it's Adventure Van here with blog about the 15 behavior drives of dogs. You might wonder what those even are, they're 15 fundamental parts of each dog's personality. They all make up a portion, and some will have a greater effect on the personality. These are Hunting, which is based around the ability to pursue prey, Tracking, which is for dogs who have a higher sensitivity to odors or trails on the ground, Air Scent, which is based around being able to sense the same things but in the air,  Retrieving, bringing prey back to everyone else, Prey, which is the dog's motivation to not release prey, Fight, how much the dog uses physical prowess, Guard, which is the dog's motivation to defend their territory, Protection, which is based around how dogs defend others, Rank, which is a dog's drive to move themselves up the totem pole, Trainability, which is how much the dog wants to learn, Survival, the fight or flight response the dog has, Homing, how social or anti-social the dog is, Play, which is how much the dog wants to bond with others, Activity, the overall energy the dog has, and Pack, how much the dog wants to bond with others. These are the 15 behavior drives. All dogs have all of these, and they can be manipulated to a point, but these are the core concepts of a dog's personality. They're decided by breed and the dog itself.

Adventure Van, dogging out.
