canine assessment

Canine assessment is a process used by professionals to evaluate a dog's behavior, temperament, and suitability for specific roles or environments. It involves observing the dog’s reactions to various situations, such as handling, other animals, and people, to identify strengths, potential issues, and training needs. This assessment helps determine if a dog is a good fit for certain tasks like service work, therapy, or family adoption. The goal is to ensure the dog's well-being and match it appropriately to its environment, promoting safe and successful integration for both the dog and its handlers.
