United Kennel Club - Socialization Pet Obedience Test ( SPOT)
Through the SPOT program, the United Kennel Club offers owners a chance to prove that their dog is a well-behaved asset to their community by completing a series of exercises that demonstrate these valuable and necessary skills. These tests are conducted by SPOT Evaluators who will ensure that all participants will have a fun and positive experience with their dogs.
The SPOT program consists of 10 separate testing stations. At each station, the dog must perform a basic exercise. These exercises are used to demonstrate that the dog is capable of exhibiting desired behaviors that the general public would expect to see in a well behaved dog. The dog will receive a rating at each station, varying from "Outstanding" to "Needs Practice". Training for the SPOT test can begin as early as you would like to start training your dog. SPOT Evaluator – Cheryl Weston
All Breed Independent Dog Sports - Socialization Temperament Assessment Review ( STAR)
At ABI, we’re firm believers in a simple truth: every dog has the potential to be a great dog and a model citizen. All it takes is a little training, a whole lot of love, and—of course—praise delivered with the enthusiasm.
That’s exactly why we created the Socialization Temperament Assessment Review (S.T.A.R) program. Think of it as a teamwork challenge for you and your pup—expert-designed, confidence-building, and guaranteed to bring out the best in both ends of the leash.
The STAR program is built around 10 essential skills that help dogs learn good manners and help owners become responsible, rock‑star dog parents. It’s not just training… it’s a celebration of what you and your dog can accomplish together. STAR Evaluator Justin Brundage
All Breed Independent Dog Sports – Canadian Farm Dog Challenge - CFDC
The Canadian Farm Dog Challenge is designed to evaluate a dog’s overall behaviour and working attitude in a realistic urban farm setting. Participating dogs must show calm self‑control around livestock and stay focused despite the unique sights, sounds, and scents of the farm environment.
Throughout the challenge, dogs are expected to demonstrate confidence, composure, and a willingness to work closely with their handlers. It’s a practical, real‑world assessment that highlights a dog’s steadiness, responsiveness, and ability to thrive in a variety of farm‑style situations. CFDC Evaluator Sean Kent, Marcia Case, Brittany Drager
