Dogs and the Enneagram

Dogs and the Enneagram

This week, we dig into the 9 personality types and how they relate to dog parenting. We’ll also interview special guest Kelsey Taylor, as well as share great stories from you, our fellow dog lovers, about which Enneagram type you think your dogs are.

The 9 Enneagram Types and Dog Breeds

Here’s a nifty diagram of types explained with dog breeds. This is, obviously, not a comprehensive list. Perhaps you might not find it entirely accurate. But it is a good place to start.

We believe our Jack Russell Terrier, Carson, leans more towards a Type 6. He is fiercely loyal and can’t stand to be away from us, unless of course he’s stealing the remote control, having a snack, or chasing a squirrel in the park. His wing is likely a 5, for he is constantly thinking and analyzing conversations and situations.

Our previous Jack Russell Terrier, Wiggles (may he rest in peace), was probably a Type 9. He was so kind, loving, and amiable, never one to cause a ruckus – unless of course he was chasing a squirrel.
