You lead with feelings. Your Capricorn pet leads with a quiet, dignified sense of how things ought to be done. They like order, patience and being taken seriously; you like snuggles, soft words and being needed. Across the zodiac wheel you face each other, and that is exactly why the fit is so good: you bring the warmth their serious little heart secretly wants, and they bring a steadiness that settles you on a wobbly day.
Capricorns want respect, routine and a person who does not rush them. You supply the home and the heart. The tug of war starts when you want a cuddle and they want to finish their important business first, like surveying the yard. Wait five minutes. They will come. When they do, they settle against you like a promise kept.
If your Capricorn is a dog
Your Capricorn dog walks beside you with the calm poise of an experienced tour guide, while you narrate the whole route in a loving voice. At home they permit exactly one belly rub, then sit at your feet with grave dignity.

Your Capricorn cat surveys the house from the top of the fridge like an old landlord checking the rent. You sweet-talk them down, and they accept a chin scratch with the air of someone granting a great favor.
