Tom is a Certified Service Dog Evaluator.


• PUPPY PRE-ADOPTION ASSESSMENT

Behavioral assessments using "Temperament Tests" are offered for a nominal fee to those who are considering adopting a new pet. Best way to find the right dog for your family is to bring an objective party with you when you visit the breeder, rescue or shelter. We highly recommend an evaluation for any dog that may be going into a home with children.
Resource guarding is a dangerous behavior to live with, especially if you have children in the home. Pre-adoption assessments can be arranged at the adoption agency or breeder and take approximately 30 minutes.

Learn what to do and why, in order to reduce and de-escalate confrontational situations before they happen.

(An "Evaluation" is usually required before the initial Training begins.)
