Quick answer
If you were born between February 16, 2018 and February 4, 2019, your Chinese zodiac animal is the Dog (土狗), a Yang Earth year. The Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year, not on January 1, so if your birthday is earlier in 2018 you are a Rooster (鸡) instead.
People born in 2018 turn 8 in 2026 (or 7, before their birthday).

Dogs are faithful, fair and dependable friends. They stand up for what is right, though they can worry and be overly critical.
As a Yang Earth sign, your element adds its own flavor to the Dog nature. Tradition pairs each animal with one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in a repeating cycle, so the same animal has five different elemental versions over 60 years.
