Dependent
Independent
Cautious
Exploratory
Calm
Excitable
Obedient
Autonomous
Sniper is sharp, alert, and always on watch. They move through the world with intention. They notice everything, even when they seem still. Every sound is a clue. Every scent, a story. They are not easily fooled, and not quick to trust.
They are high energy, but never reckless. Their excitement is focused, their reactions precise. They love having a job, spotting movement, chasing with purpose. Open fields, quiet trails, and long-range games of fetch bring out their best.
Dogs with this personality don't need constant attention. In fact, they prefer space. But they are always aware of where you are. They may not ask for affection, but they accept it on their terms. They resist being fussed over or told what to do. Choice matters to them. Respect earns their trust.
In their world, connection doesn't need words. It's built through shared moments, quiet signals, and time. They may keep their distance, but they are never far.

Interaction Suggestions
Snipers are sensitive and alert; approach training calmly but with confidence. Use a quiet voice and firm cues to teach them to control their excitement. For example, ask for a sit or focus when they get overstimulated, then reward them once they compose themselves. Introduce new experiences gradually and consider leash rules (like a longer leash or fenced area) at first to keep them secure while they explore.
