Temperament Evaluation & Tours

To ensure the safety of all the dogs and the staff, all dogs must pass a temperament evaluation before being accepted to the Klub. Your dog must be dog friendly and respectful of human authority. Not all dogs are eligible to attend the Klub, as the Klub is cageless.

Temperament Evaluations:

Evaluations take about 35-45 minutes and are given at 10:30, 11:30 and 2:30 Monday - Friday, and Saturday when possible. Your dog will be tested to see if he/she allows a gender check, respects dominance from a resident dog, whether it resource guards its owner, whether it can be guided by the collar and leash, how your dog responds to vocal aggression from a dog and if he/she knows what "no" means from a dog, and separation anxiety.

During the eval our policies and procedures will be explained to you to help make your experience with Klub K9 a pleasant one.

Tours:

Due to insurance restraints and safety, tours are only given after your dog passes his/her temperament evaluation.

Insurance companies do not allow us to take you where the dogs are, and since this is a cageless facility, there are dogs everywhere and they are loose.

To give a tour we have to remove the dogs from the play area which stirs them up, give the tour, then bring them back into the play area which stirs them up again.

This is a safety concern, as this is when the dogs may get aggressive, which puts both the dogs and the handlers at risk. The more the dogs are moved around, the more agitated they get, and the more aggression we may see, even from dogs that normally would not show aggression.

This is why you must schedule an appointment for an evaluation, and a tour during your dog's evaluation. We have nothing to hide, check the web cams. We do however want to keep the dogs and the handlers safe.

Klub K9 is probably the cleanest, safest daycare & boarding facility in the Valley and we are proud of it!! We are proud to give tours and show off how clean our facility is. However, we must keep it safe for you, the handlers and the dogs.

We do work with under and unsocialized dogs; call and see if we can help your pup become acceptable.
