Dogeagram: Understanding the Mystery of Dogs:
A playful look at the personality of dogs through the lens of the Enneagram. Satire, substance.
Not sure when it happened, but dog ownership, adoption and training have become, well... intense. There's a lot of pressure out there to keep up with all the knowledge, training philosophies, supplies and activities. It is time we all lightened up a bit and simply enjoyed our dogs!
Equally, if you're a person committed to any kind of personal growth, you are familiar with The Enneagram and know how helpful it can be. You also may have sensed that it is easy to get a bit Enneagram focused. A little... intense.
Enter The Dogeagram! Dogeagram: Understanding the Mystery of Dogs (and occasional mocking of their owners) is a satirical attempt to have both dog lovers and Enneagram followers laugh at themselves. Dogeagram actually offers significant content in both dog breed and Enneagram categories, but mostly it is just to poke fun at our dog-loving, personal growth-committed selves.
Dogeagram humorously covers the nine types within the Canine Personality Structure:
Type One: “The Rufformer”
Type Two: “The Obedient-to-Please”
Type Three: “The Obedient to Impress”
Type Four: “The Dog Like No Other”
Type Five: The "I'll Dig Deeper"
Type Six: The “Of Course I’m Loyal, I’m a Dog”
Type Seven: The “Of Course I’m Enthusiastic, I’m a Dog”
Type Eight: “The Alpha-Alpha”
Type Nine: “The Family Glue”
To give you a sense of the satire, consider these excerpts:
"Once you educate yourself on the Nine Types in the Dogeagram, you'll not stop talking about it with your friends. The friends who don't grow weary of you will soon join you with their wholel heart."
"The Dogeagram is not to be confused with the well-known Myers-Dog Type Indicator (MDTI) or the Barkman Inventory or the DISC (Dog, Inside Dog, Social Dog, Car Lover). The Dogeagram is, in fact, an ancient well of wisdom that should be held in a sacred category far more than merely a human resource or psychological paradigm."
"As the saying goes, “The Dogeagram is the Dogeagram is the Dogeagram.” If you say this creed three times fast you convince yourself that you know things."
