PUPPY & LITTER ASSESSMENTS
Our litter assessments are an invaluable tool to help breeders place pups with their best possible match!
Our modified Volhardt test incorporates many elements of the original assessment protocol, with a more in depth approach to exercises aimed to evaluate neuroplasticity and adaptability to different environments.
Upon evaluation of each pup, breeders will receive a Puppy Eval Form which will outline each dog's strengths, weaknesses, placement recommendations, deviations of temperament for the standard, socialization protocols, and more!
Not sure of your puppies potential? A puppy temperament evaluation is a great tool to evaluate your puppies behavior traits including:
-
Sociability to strangers
-
Motivation and Drives (food, play, social)
-
Play and Engagement
-
Flexibility / Neuroplasticity to novel stimuli
-
Sounds Sensitivity
-
Behavior for Handling and Restraint
-
Containment / Confinement
-
And so much more!
This is the ideal option for owners who are training a show prospect, performance prospect, or potential service dog candidate. Also useful for owners who have just adopted! a new puppy and would like further feedback.
