What is C-BARQ?
As part of our behavior modification program, our training department uses a survey tool called the C-BARQ.
This stands for Canine Behavioral Assessment & Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ). It's a standardized, behavioral evaluation tool for dog owners/guardians, handlers and professionals. It provides a set of numerical scores for fourteen different categories of dog behavior. The survey was validated and is maintained through The University of Pennsylvania.
Behavior problems are the leading cause of premature death (by euthanasia) in companion dogs, as well as being the primary reason why dogs are surrendered to animal shelters and rescue groups. The C-BARQ is designed to measure the prevalence and severity of these behavioral problems. With this data, our trainers can get a full understanding of what your dog is struggling with, and in turn, create a custom plan to successfully modify your dog's behavior
