COMMON QUESTIONS
Practical answers.
Should the form ask about bite history?
Ask direct, neutral questions about incidents and triggers so you can assess the service safely.
Can one form cover multiple dogs?
Use separate behavior and equipment details for each dog, even when household and access information is shared.
When should the information be reviewed?
Review it during the meet and greet and after health, behavior, equipment or address changes.
