Characteristics: careful, smart, determined, patient, meticulous

Hold on, I almost have it the way I want it! Capricorns are the workers of the Zodiac. They are very persistent and will not give up until they get what they want or, more importantly, the way the want it. They, therefore, have a tendency to be frustrated until it’s just right.

Capricorn dogs like routine. They like their favorite pillow in the same place every day and to be dressed with everything coordinating. They need structure and are easy to train. Capricorns tend to be slow just to make sure things are done right. They are often quiet, mainly because they feel the need to analyze every situation. They never just jump into a situation before examining it.

Although Capricorns are extremely friendly, they might attach themselves to one individual in the household, usually the authoritarian. They definitely aim to please and get very upset if scolded because they feel like they have failed and let you down. Keep in mind, though, that a little reassurance will perk these little perfectionists right up. After all, they now know how to make a situation better!
