4. Schedule a Temperament Test

At DogCity, dog safety is our primary concern. For the benefit of your pet and others, we require that all of our guests have passed a temperament test (i.e., an evaluation of your dog’s social behavior). This test helps to ensure that we do not have any aggressive, highly anxious & under socialized dogs mixed in with the rest of the pack and helps protect all of our furry friends. Amount of daycare required prior to boarding may vary depending on the temperament test. Daycare prior to boarding your pooch which does not  participate in regular daycare will be asked to do a half day or more to avoid anxiety. Your pooch is not a regular daycare dog  this may be required for every boarding.The temperament test also helps to ensure that your dog will enjoy participating in the services offered by DogCity Daycare. For more information, view our Temperament Test Details and FAQs page.
