The Bridge to Freedom

This assessment is for dog owners who have been attending our Neutral Walks and feel ready to progress to off-lead Social Walks. It's how we ensure every dog joining the pack is set up for success.

Prerequisite

1+ Neutral Walk

You wouldn't throw a non-swimmer into the deep end, and I won't throw a dog into a pack unless I know they can swim.

Social Walks are off-lead environments. To keep them safe, fun, and bullying-free, I need to know exactly who is joining the group. This is a 60-minute, 1-to-1 session. It is low-stress and non-judgmental.

What We Evaluate

The Connection

Does your dog check in with you? Can they look to you for guidance when uncertain?

The Recall

Will they come back when called, even with distractions present?

The Stooge Test

I will bring my dog Aslan to observe how the dogs interact in a controlled setting.

The Outcome

There are only two possible results—and both are positive.

Not Quite Ready

That's okay! I will give you specific feedback on what needs work and can refer you to a trusted trainer if behavioral modification is needed.

This isn't a test you can fail—it's a checkpoint that sets you up for success. Whatever the outcome, you'll leave with clarity on your next steps.
