The Polar Sport Tester (Polar Electro OY) is a telemetric heart rate monitor designed for use in humans. Its usefulness as a monitor during training of guide dogs is assessed in this paper. Heart rates from six representative dogs at a similar stage of early training were recorded at 5-s intervals during a 15-20 min work session. The dogs were F1 Labrador Retriever x Golden Retrievers. They were chosen if their behaviour could be clearly categorized by their experienced trainers as either 'calm/non-stress prone' (Type A) or 'excitable/stress prone' (Type B) during work. Verbal recordings were made of environmental cues and behavioural responses in each dog. Variability in heart rate was significantly related to a subject's described temperament.
极地运动测试仪（极地电子有限公司）是一款专为人类设计的遥测心率监测器。本文评估了其在导盲犬训练过程中作为监测器的实用性。在15 - 20分钟的工作时段内，以5秒的间隔记录了6只处于早期训练相似阶段的代表性犬只的心率。这些犬是拉布拉多寻回犬与金毛寻回犬的杂交一代。如果它们的行为在工作期间能够被经验丰富的训练师明确归类为“平静/不易紧张”（A型）或“易兴奋/易紧张”（B型），则被选中。对每只犬的环境线索和行为反应进行了语音记录。心率变异性与受试者描述的气质显著相关。
