Background
Recent increase in dog cognition has also increased attention to individual differences among members of the same species, in particular, how personality (i.e. individual behavioral differences that are relatively stable in time and across contexts) can be used to understand different behavioral strategies. When studying these kinds of behavioral differences, the goal is to understand how different individuals in the same population may adopt individual behavioral strategies in specific environments. Recent experimental studies have focused on determining the primary personality traits of dogs but little attention has been paid to whether and how personality traits affect problem-solving performance. In the current study, our aim is to fill this gap and investigate the relationship between personality traits and problem-solving performance.
