The five element theory is used in acupuncture, among other fields. The theory origins in Traditional Chinese Medicine. A medicine method that is more than 5000 years old.

Within Wu Xing, the five element theory is used to create a character type classification of animals, based on your own observations relative to your animal’s behavior. It provides an additional entry point to really learn to look at your animal.

By looking at and observing your animal, you learn how to train and live with your animal (environment, nutrition and relationship). The character type classification will show that not every type is suitable for the possible purpose you have for it. The possibilities and impossibilities that arise from this, will help you to adjust your expectations. It gives more understanding regarding the reactions of the animal.
It is also a reason to look at your animal completely differently.

Metal type dogs

Metal type dogs are often independent. They are quiet and they are hard workers. They like structure and like to receive recognition for their work.
They are easily trainable dogs and follow rules well.
They usually have a fairly muscular build.
These types of dogs like to do retrieving, tracking, sheep herding or obedience.

Metal type dogs are therefore often seen in the breed group of the standing hunting dogs, sled,- or polar dogs and the Schnauzers. A metal dog out of balance will retreat quickly. They become stoic and stubborn. The “metal shield” is raised.

Want to know more about the different types?
Then the book “Get to Know Your Dog, Cat or Rabbit with the Five Elements” by Aleid Hillebrand and Eric Laarakker is highly recommended.
