Assessment Process

Dog Assessments

Dog assessment at Springfield Dog Centre

The Process

If your dog is deemed suitable to progress after meet and greet, they are invited to attend day care for a thorough in-house assessment over 4 hours with close monitoring by our play team.

Meet and Greet

During the Meet & Greet we observe your dog's reaction the moment they walk through the door. How does your dog respond to the noise of other dogs? How does your dog engage with our team? Is your dog relaxed or tense?

Their First Day

On their first day, they are introduced to dogs of a similar temperament. Once settled, we gradually introduce other dogs attending day care. The aim is to help your dog make canine friends and avoid overwhelm.

Assurance

If at any point your dog appears uncomfortable, we immediately remove them from the situation. We then review why this happened and work on a positive plan that works for everyone.

Report

At the end of the assessment period, owners receive updates on behaviour, friendships, play interactions, and activities. If there are any issues, we provide advice and explain the management strategies used in day care.
