Sentinel is watchful and responsive, always tuned in to the world around them. They seem to notice
things before anyone else. A small sound, a sudden shift, even a change in mood can put them on
alert. Their ears perk up, their body stills, and they prepare to act.
Dogs with this personality do not bark for attention. They bark when something matters. These dogs
respond quickly, but never without reason. Their energy is sharp, not chaotic. It comes from a deep
sense of duty. They move because something feels off, and they want to make it right.
Though independent, they look for reassurance. A nod, a word, a calm tone helps them know what to
do. They don't challenge authority. They want to work with it. Their caution isn't fear. It's the
focus.
What makes them special is how much they care without needing praise. They are not guard dogs by
training. They are guardians by heart.

Interaction Suggestions
Sentinels are very alert and responsive, so use training that rewards calm focus. Teach them a quiet
or “watch me” command for when they get excited or nervous about noises, praising them softly when
they settle. Introduce new environments gradually with you nearby for reassurance, and schedule
regular exercise to burn off any extra nervous energy.
