Arrow The Testing for Aptitude & Suitability for Training

[SIZE=1]Selection Criteria Items That Were Tested for Effectiveness in Predicting Future Behavior and Training Aptitude

Many (not all) dog shelters (as opposed dog pounds) have employees or volunteers who have been trained to administer this test. If they have no such person, then it is best to pay for an hour of a qualified dog trainer's time to come to the shelter and thoroughly test a dog who seems to you and the attendants to be a potential good client to pass this test. Having a professional do this keeps YOU from possibly being bitten on the pain, pinch and the settle down test (where the dog is held in a submissive position).

If you decide to do this test yourself with a shelter employee nearby and helping with the test (don't forget the halloween or party mask), then print out these test procedures so you do them correctly and grade them exactly as directed.
