The Steps Of Temperment Testing A Dog Temperament Testing a Dog for Adoptability Many things are involved in testing a dog to see if it is an adoptable animal. Temperament testing is a good name for all these steps. The dog is first evaluated in its kennel, then checked to see if it is aggressive around food; finally, the dog is evaluated to see if it shows any aggression towards people. The dog is at the animal shelter for approximately five days prior to the official evaluation. During this time, the dog is observed to see how it behaves toward other dogs in the kennel with it. A memo is placed in the dog’s record stating whether it is aggressive, submissive, dominant, or playful with the other dogs. Some breeds of dogs are known to be more aggressive toward other animals than other breeds; some of these breeds are the American Pit Bull, the Chow and Dachshunds. These breeds require more intensive testing and training to ensure they overcome the dominant traits of their breed. These breeds are also watched more carefully in the kennels because of their tendency to become dog aggressive.
