Temperament Test

A Temperament test is required for all dogs who will be joining our club for daycare or boarding. At Paw La La, we do temperament tests a bit differently. Our boutique style daycare enables us to start with an empty playroom. This allows your pup to get accustomed to the facility, all the new sights and smells without any interruption. We want to make sure your pup feels safe in the environment. Next we introduce our amazing staff. Finally, we slowly start bringing in dogs one at a time, always assessing play style and personality. This helps our new club members feel more comfortable and not overwhelmed.

Call us at 213-PET-PAWS to set up your free "temperament test." Temperament tests last 1- 1.5 hours and and is by appointment only. Dogs may stay longer than 1 ½ hours upon passing the temperament test but a daycare fee will be added. We require proof of up to date vaccinations prior to your dog entering the facility.

  • Wear a collar or must purchase one at our store (no prong or choke chains)
