  • Is your dog comfortable in varied places and around unfamiliar people?
  • Can your dog greet people without jumping?
  • Is appropriate behavior consistent and predictable?
  • Can your dog remain calm near carts, skateboards, and other moving objects?
  • Can you both recover calmly from an unexpected event?
  • Does your dog cooperate comfortably with veterinary care and grooming?
  • Have you completed foundational training and continued practicing?
  • Is your dog healthy and receiving regular veterinary care?
  • Does your dog take treats gently?
  • Do people appear comfortable interacting with your dog?
  • Can your dog remain composed around other dogs?
  • Can your dog interact calmly with children?
  • Can your dog stay quiet and responsive during visits?
  • Does your dog show friendly, safe behavior toward unfamiliar people?
  • Can staff approach your team comfortably?
  • Your Next Step
  • All “Ready” answers suggest you may be ready to discuss evaluation. Any “Needs practice” answer identifies a preparation goal. This check does not replace a professional assessment or guarantee acceptance.
