Puppy Temperament Testing
Puppy temperament testing is a reliable predictor of a dog's personality, sociability, and potential trainability at maturity. The results of testing serve to match the puppy's temperament with the most suitable future environment.
Puppy Temperament testing is offered at 7 weeks of age. Our certified professional dog trainer will come to your location to perform the test.
 
For litters with three or less puppies • $35.00 per puppy
 
For litters with four or more puppies • $30.00 per puppy
