The same is true of dogs. Breed reputations and impressive pedigrees describe populations of dogs, not individuals. Some dogs from that famous working line or from that titled litter or the result of a custom blend of breeds will do the thing you’d like the dog to do. Reality check: some dogs – regardless of breed, group, background, parentage – won’t be able to do the job.
The question is never "Is this a good dog?"
The important question: "Is this a good dog for this sport, this goal, this life?"
The answer is not found in generalizations or statistics, but in observable behavior. What does suitability actually look like?
In this webinar, Suzanne Clothier applies CARAT™ (Clothier Animal Response Assessment Tool) to the practical challenge of selecting a puppy or dog for your goals, whether that's competitive sports, working roles, or a full family life.
Getting good answers requires good questions. In this webinar, you'll learn how to sort what is truly non-negotiable for your goals, what would merely be nice to have, and where you can be flexible. A dog unsuitable for one task may be ideal for another. The motorcycle isn't broken just because it can't carry forty kids.
This webinar includes video footage of puppy evaluations and a real-world case study of a successful working K9 selected using these principles show how observation-based selection translates into a genuine partnership.
