Just like a person, a dog's personality can change over time, according to experts from Michigan State University.
The study was published in the Journal of Research in Personality.
What determines a dog's personality
Scientists have found that the presence of certain character traits strongly correlates with the age of the dog.

7 years. In addition, dogs that were better trained were characterized by pain (p = 0.04) and were also more likely to bite people. In addition, older dogs and males were more likely to bite people.
How a person influences a pet's personality
Scientists have found that the owner’s character greatly influences the pet’s habits.
Sociable people have kind and active dogs and cats, while neurotic people have anxious and aggressive ones.
That is why a phlegmatic person will probably get a calm and slightly lazy dog.
And an eccentric girl will probably have an active and irrepressible pet.
