By the time a puppy is old enough for a temperament test at 7 to 8 weeks, the pups experiences in life have also affected temperament. Even at this tender age, its not possible to say with absolute certainty that a particular trait is solely genetic and not at all learned.
Elevation -- degree of accepting dominance while in a position of no control, such as at the veterinarian or groomer. To test this, the test suggests lifting the puppy up and suspending mid-air for 30 seconds to assess their reaction. Again, not opposed to this overall, but again, be GENTLE.
