"The Five Personality Types of Dogs: A Comparative Study with Humans"

A study by the University of East London has found that dogs can be classified into five personality types, similar to humans. Using an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze 70,000 behavioral records, researchers identified the types as excitable/hyper-attached, anxious/fearful, aloof/predatory, reactive/assertive, and calm/agreeable. The findings could help match dogs with suitable owners and roles, as well as improve training programs and pet-owner interactions. The study also aims to reduce shelter relinquishment and euthanasia rates by fostering stronger bonds between humans and their canine companions.
