Evaluations

PUPPY AND ADULT DOG EVALUATIONS— Are you thinking of acquiring a new puppy or an adult dog for your family and want to make sure the dog you are considering is safe and a good choice for your lifestyle and environment? Having conducted over thousands of evaluations in the last 30 years, we can help you find the right match for you and your family. A temperament test is similar to a personality test in people. It can tell you what the dog will act like in many situations to high probability. It can tell you if the dog has tendency towards aggression or possessive guarding. It can tell you if the dog is a good choice for a home with children or a home that is planning to have children during the dog’s lifetime. With so many dogs adopted and then surrendered because they weren’t a good match, many people do benefit from this service.
