Ep 29: The future of dog breeding Part 6 - Temperament & Personality with Suzanne Clothier


Why does my dog… Is the most common question behaviourists and trainers get asked…

Now, the serenity prayer asks God to give us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can and the wisdom to know the difference! And Suzanne Clothier is here to save the day and give us the wisdom that is so desperately needed for so many dog owners and pet parents looking to raise a healthy puppy or rehome a rescue dog. 


Suzanne and Hannah explore the difference between breed traits, temperament and personality with dogs. We talk about;


  • How much of a dogs personality is flexible or set when you get your dog 
  • How to recognise a dogs temperament to see if they fit your family before you get them using the CARAT Clothier Animal Response Assessment Tool
  • How to learn about the dog in front of you so you can adjust your expectations of what that dog can excel in or might struggle with based on who they are.
