Mar 1, 2006 · The development of behavioural tests for identifying and monitoring age-related differences has begun. However, standardised testing requires validation.
A lack of standardisation is a significant welfare problem for dogs (Mornement et al, 2014) and the process of testing can be a potential source of adverse stress in itself. Temperament tests are rife with questions over reliability and validity.
Oct 5, 2023 · A behavior assessment is the process of identifying and noting an individual dog’s reaction to various environmental stimuli.
