I once read this guide from the 1930’s on how to pick out a puppy.
You place the dog gently on its back and then hold it there lightly but firmly.
If it makes no effort to flip itself over it’s...
i dont think it helps to categorize puppies this way
it is just about relating
a puppy that has to pee will fight to get off their back even if they are otherwise chill
as in, situational
and sure, in general, a very trusting puppy doesnt mind like 'oh maybe this is a belly rub thing, im in' but that can quickly change if you then hurt that puppy or hold them down too long
like to the puppy this is: are we friends or are you psycho
sure a puppy with inherent stranger danger views everyone as psycho until proven otherwise, a more anxious alert dog, a more watchful careful one
