Everyone has their own personality, and so do puppies. Many use astrology, or some small tests to test their own personality, dogs can also use the Campbell test to help owners determine the main personality characteristics of puppies. But even if the puppy's innate personality is dominant, the new owner can change it through care and training. Because the puppy's cognition has not yet been formed, it can be changed.
Attraction test
This test can be done when puppies are 7 weeks old. Carefully place the puppy on the ground, step back, and gently clap your hands to observe the puppy's behavior.
1. The puppy immediately runs towards you with its tail up and tries to jump on top of you and lick your hand.
2. The puppy immediately runs towards you with its tail raised, and grabs your hand with its paws.
3. The puppy immediately runs towards you, wagging its tail in front of you.
4. The puppy walks towards you hesitantly with its tail down.
5. The puppies do not come.
Obedience Test
This test should be performed by someone untouched by the puppy. The puppy sits on its stomach (for example, the front limbs are placed on the elbows in front of the body, and the hind limbs are curled under the abdomen, like a sphinx), then press the head and back, and maintain this position for 30 seconds.
1. The puppy resists, turns around, scratches, barks and tries to bite.
2. The puppy resists, turns and scratches.
