Hi, my name is Angie. I am the owner of Dangie K-9 Services Inc. I believe that each dog is an individual and that each dog has a specific job he was meant to excel at.
Temperament Testing
This is why we temperament test our puppies before they are put up for sale. We do this to see what they are really good at. By knowing what they are good at we can match them up with the situation that meets the individual dog's needs. This also means they will be easier to train because we are setting them up to succeed in what they are naturally good at. Our success would mean that the dog would live a happy life doing what he loves to do by instinct and the purchaser gets a tailor made dog to fulfill his needs whether it is to guard his business or to be a family companion.
By doing this we are reducing the unnecessary risk of injuries to people's children and thier other pets. It enhances and facilitates training because the puppy is born with the natural instinct and knowledge to do the job we have set him or her up to do.
How it is done?
By reading the specific instincts and reactions of the dog when subjected to different stimuli we can determine what each individual dog will want to be when he grows up. These tests are all based on instincts and these specific characteristics that are found in each dog will get stronger and keener as the dog develops in age and with training but will never change.
I first heard about Temperament Testing in 2001 and I have been studying dog temperaments since. I am proud to say that to my knowledge I have not failed a dog or a customer yet.
If you want a good dog you have to know what you want him to be to you...E.I. Lap dog, guard dog, jogging companion etc... Then you have to make sure he will fit your life style. Temperament testing is the most accurate way to do this.
If a breeder or a trainer says any of the following please do your family a favor run, do not walk, do not look back just proceed to the next number on your list.
I can tell you from my experience that dogs do have certain traits that are breed related but that is not to say they are all the same. Then again I can tell you that training will not take away the traits but depending on the training methods you will use with your dog you will have a greater understanding of those traits and better control of them.
To not give adequate training to your puppy is a great lack of respect for him. You can't expect him to know what is expected of him and he will not come pre-configured to your specifications. Training is a way of life not just a 10 hour thing you can forget about after it is all done.
