Differences between dogs which pass or fails the standardised behavioural test

Independent T-test showed that dogs which passed the test had a significant higher index value (mean value=37) than dogs which failed the test (mean value=-21) (p<0.001). Correlations between index value and body posture were found. There were positive correlations between index value and high body posture during Acoustic Startle and Visual Startle, bur´t negative correlations between the index value and anxious behaviours during Acoustic Startle, neutral body posture during Visual Startle and Searching Subtest. The only correlation detected between the reaction to stimuli and index value was a positive correlation between Reaching/Digging during Searching Subtest and index value.
