Family Profiling
Not every dog is a good fit for every family environment. Learn which type of dog is best suited to your personality, home and lifestyle. Avoid taking on too much dog for your family, and bring the right dog home – the first time.
Breed Assessment
Whether it’s a lap lounger or arctic explorer, gentle companion or energetic athlete, each breed has general profile tendencies that can be helpful when seeking out a dog of a particular size, personality, aptitude, appearance, etc. Canine Foundations Consultants are experienced with most purebreds and cross-breeds and are able to provide detailed analyses of breeds and mixes that offer the basic compatibility trends to match your family’s unique needs in a new four-legged friend.
Personality Profiling
Your dog’s personality profile assesses his/her intelligence level, problem-solving skills, drives, motivations, personality type, disposition and low thresholds (areas of low tolerance). With this information, we are able to determine a dog’s personality mix and rule out animals you and your family may not be equipped to handle.
