Getting Help from Your Dogs: How to Gain Insights, Advice, and Power Using the Dog Type System

The Dog Type system can help you gain more success in both your work and personal life. It helps you better understand yourself and others by knowing the dogs you like most and least and the dogs others are like. This helps you assess one's personality profile based on the personality characteristics of different dogs.

In addition, you can call on different types of dogs to help you in different situations - from gaining insights about what action to take to increasing your creativity, resolving problems, and making decisions. You can also use these techniques to relax, have more energy, overcome stress, gain more confidence, and set and accomplish goals.

GETTING HELP FROM YOUR DOGS features a number of exercises to contact your Top Dog, Watch Dog, Underdog, Power Dog, and Guide Dog, who can help in various ways. It includes examples from several workshops illustrating how people called on their dogs to gain insights, advice, power and other kinds of help.

The book is ideal for anyone interested in personality tests, personality types, personality profiles, personality assessment, personality characteristics, and personality psychology. It combines the different systems for personality typing with the personalities of different dog breeds.
