Doggie Attachment Quiz: Inspired by Rupert and Fig (and their humans)…
Is your dog secure, anxious, or avoidant? Take the Doggie Attachment Quiz on our Facebook page to find out.
What? Well, here’s how the Doggie Attachment Quiz came to be: After deciphering their own, or their date’s, attachment style with our quiz, our friends started commenting on their dogs’ attachment style. The first instance (on Facebook) looked like this:
R.R.: I took the quiz and found out that my dog, Rupert, and I are meant to spend the rest of our lives together! Thank you, Dr. Levine!!!!
Amir Levine: Rupert is definitely secure. With him closeness creates more closeness and that’s the secure way… When you get close to someone secure they don’t get scared and push you away. They welcome it. And pets get attached big time!
R. R.: But do you think if someone is avoidant, they can attract a secure dog?
Amir Levine: Of course an avoidant person can have a secure dog. Sometimes they may resent the dog wanting to play and be close though.
Rupert, the Secure dog
And then there was another dog, a Boston Terrier puppy named Fig. Fig is equipped with a Facebook page and a secure attachment style; she posted her results on our Facebook wall as well. So, we got to work and created the doggie attachment quiz for our Facebook page. Take it. And we hope to see you on Facebook.
