\n

Temperament Test are performed Monday through Friday between 10am – 2pm. Temperament tests are scheduled between 10am and 4pm on weekdays and 11am through 3pm on weekends. Temperament tests last approximately 30 minutes. \u00a0We suggest scheduling a test for boarding dogs in advance to your needed stay dates.\u00a0Please call the store to schedule your temperament test (626) 229-9835.<\/p>\n

Please be on time for your temperament test appointment. We schedule these very carefully for the safety of your dog and the dogs in our facility. A late show will most likely be re-scheduled.<\/p>\n

The test can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour depending on how quickly your dog settles into the pack. In some cases we need the dog to stay for a full day to properly assess their behavior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
PHASE 1: TEMPERAMENT TEST<\/h6>\n

Your dog will first be introduced to one dog at a time depending on their energy level. If they are a calmer or more submissive shy dog then they will meet a dog who is calm as well. If they are higher energy then they will meet a dog who is on their level of energy.
\nThey will be introduced to these dogs in a smaller setting before being taken into the main daycare space.
\nFor those dogs who may be defensive or fearful, we want to see that they can control themselves in a stimulating situation: air snaps, growling, teeth baring etc, show us that they know how to communicate their boundaries to other dogs without actually harming them. We can work with that to improve comfort levels and social skills.<\/p>\n

PHASE 2: BEHAVIOR EVALUATION<\/h6>\n

Your dog will then be introduced to the play group slowly, at their speed, with the small group of dogs they were initially introduced to.\u00a0We ask that pet parents not look through our windows during this time. It\u2019s very distracting and stressful for many dogs when they are trying\u00a0to acclimate to a completely new environment but\u00a0they know their parents are right outside.
\nWe monitor new dogs to ensure that they interact well with their environment. This can be anything from running to exploring and sniffing, or a dog who observes intently from a \u201csafe\u201d area. \u00a0Dogs must also display self-control and good responsiveness with signals from other dogs and human handlers even when at the peak of their excitement and play.
\nWe are well trained in dog behavior and we can handle many shy dogs. The majority of dogs that come in for a temperament test pass. We are only looking to weed out aggressive behavior that may need a more focused\u00a0training than we are capable of giving in a daycare setting.<\/p>\n

PHASE 3: MY DOG PASSED! NOW WHAT?<\/h6>\n

If your dog passes their temperament test they are qualified to stay the same day or come back another day for their first day.
\nTheir first day is FREE!
\nThey are now qualified for our cage free boarding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
