Therapy & Service Dog Evaluations (Public Access Test)

​

We evaluate both puppies and adult dogs for suitability in therapy and service work, assessing temperament, adaptability, confidence, and key task-related traits. Whether you're an owner, trainer, or organization, we’ll help you determine your dog’s potential for meaningful service.

​

Personality & Cognition Testing

​

Understanding your dog’s personality and cognitive profile is essential for training success and placement. Our tests explore learning style, motivation, focus, problem-solving skills, stress recovery, and emotional regulation—giving you a deeper picture of who your dog is and how they learn best.

 

Temperament & Litter Evaluations

For Breeders & Puppy Buyers

​

Our comprehensive temperament and personality testing helps match each puppy to the right home—whether it’s a pet, working dog, or breeding prospect. Based on methods developed by Dr. Bonnie Bergin and Guide Dogs for the Blind, our evaluations are rooted in science, experience, and deep observation.

​

We offer:

• Litter temperament testing (starting as early as 7 weeks)

• Puppy personality profiling

• Breeding evaluations

• Ongoing whelping-box observations upon request

• Selection support for service, therapy, police, or working candidates

• Matching support for family dogs or sport homes

​

Each puppy is assessed for:

• Learning ability & drive

• Focus & resilience

• Stress threshold & recovery

• Social engagement

• Forgiveness & adaptability

• Problem-solving skills

• Affection level and environmental confidence

​

These evaluations help ensure that each dog is set up for success in the right home and the right role.

Choosing the Right Dog for Your Needs
