Leo Dog Horoscope: The Alpha Dog

Leo Dog (July 23 – August 22): The Alpha Dog

A Leo dog is born to be a leader and that can prove problematic if he or she is not going to be an only dog child. Luckily, Leo dogs have sunny dispositions, are friendly, and really seem to like other dogs. If nature can take its course, the other canine householders will start looking to the Leo as the leader of the pack and you won't have to spend all your time breaking up spats (or booking an appointment with a dog whisperer).

Leos are known for their alpha-mentality, so getting them a companion to lead and teach through life will help them thrive. Another thing that your Leo pup is sure to love are regular trips to the dog park because they are truly social butterflies. As long as your Leo dog is comfortable around any breed, the dog park is a great place to burn energy, make friends, and play endless rounds of fetch. Truly, any game that puts your Leo as the center of attention is always going to be a favorite. Try a classic game of chase, hide and seek, or even some fun agility activities.

LEO DOG PERSONALITY: THE FEARLESS PROTECTORS

Leos dogs love their humans and they will go to remarkable lengths to safeguard their caretakers. When you hear stories about canines dragging their owners out of a burning building or awakening them when they detect a gas leak or an intruder, it's usually the work of a Leo dog.

They are fearless, brave and believe it is their job to protect you. But the deed alone is not a just reward for a Leo dog; they love to be praised lavishly and would not say no to those gold and purple medals for bravery, happily preening for photos wearing them.

If you’re searching for a companion for your pet, it’s important to understand what other zodiac signs are the most compatible. The Leo dog zodiac gets along best with the other fire signs, Aries and Sagittarius, as well as Aquarians, who won't be put off by their arrogant ways. But Gemini and Libra dogs are great matches to the boundless energy that some Leo dogs have. Any one of these dogs are great companion choices but, honestly, Leos doggies get along with just about every kind of dog.
