Why Your Pup Needs a Temperament Test

We want to make sure every dog feels right at home at Bark City. That’s why we require a temperament test before any daycare or boarding stay. This four-hour session lets us get to know your pup and ensures they’re comfortable in a our environment.


Here’s why it’s important:

  • Ensures your dog’s comfort
  • Evaluates behavior in a new setting
  • Introduces your dog to our staff and other dogs
  • Helps us provide the best care
