Hugger is gentle and trusting, calm yet curious. They love to stay close. They wait by your side,
follow quietly, and lean in with their whole body when they want affection. Connection is comfort.
Touch means everything.
They are not bold adventurers, but they still like to explore. A new path is exciting as long as
you're nearby. They enjoy sniffing slowly, pausing often, taking in the world at their own pace.
Loud noises and sudden change can make them hesitate, but a soft voice and familiar scent give them
courage.
Dogs with this personality are easy to guide and eager to please. They don't like conflict, raised
voices, or rushed hands. They respond best to kindness. Rules are not a burden to them. They are a
way to feel safe.
In their world, love is quiet and steady. A warm lap, a gentle walk, a hand resting on their back.
That is all they need. And they give everything in return.

Interaction Suggestions
Hugger dogs thrive on companionship, so include them in all your activities. Take them on
exploratory walks where they can sniff around while you stay close, then reward them with cuddles or
pets to reinforce good behavior. They'll be content with moderate exercise, so try calm games like
“find the treat” indoors to keep their mind busy, paired with affectionate praise.
