Test-retest reliability and predictive validity of a juvenile guide dog behavior test (2015)
Journal Article
Harvey, N. D., Craigon, P. J., Sommerville, R., McMillan, C., Green, M. J., England, G. C., & Asher, L. (2016). Test-retest reliability and predictive validity of a juvenile guide dog behavior test. Journal of Veterinary Behavior: Clinical Applications and Research, 11, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jveb.2015.09.005

The ability to measure stable and consistent behavioral traits in dogs would facilitate selection and assessment of working dogs, such as guide dogs. Ideally, these measures should predict suitability for the working role from a young age. This study...
