In this presentation, Sue will give attendees known behavioral outcomes to a number of shelter dogs and will show videos of just the sociability portion of the Assess-A-Pet temperament assessment. She will then ask attendees to match the dog with the outcome. How much can you predict about a dog from just a few minutes of observation? Is it possible to categorize a dog’s temperament and aggression thresholds and predict his success (or lack thereof) in a pet/companion home?
