• Effects of breed, sex, and neuter status on trainability in dogs (2005, background): “Information on dogs relinquished to animal shelters by their owners also suggests that aspects of trainability, such as obedience to commands, are important in maintaining healthy relations between companion dogs and their owners (Salman et al. 2000).”
