Used to assess a dog’s reactions to exercises
which mimic real-life situations they are
likely to encounter in a new home
Tips for Successful and Most Useful Behavior Evaluations:
• DO conduct tests the same way for every dog
• DO try to give each dog 3 days to acclimate if possible
• DO use an evaluator that has significant training
• DO use an evaluator that does not have a relationship with the dog
