Listening Test: Making A Match

According to a radio program about matching animals and owners, research shows that some dogs have distinct personalities while others are more flexible. The program recommends that owners consider a dog's personality traits and energy level to avoid potential aggression or lack of interaction when the dog's personality does not suit the owner's lifestyle. It also suggests using personality testing for dogs that will work in specific jobs like as seeing-eye dogs to better match the dog's traits to the role.
