  Why take a Placement Test?

  • Ensures your dog is in the right class for their skill level

  • Sets you both up for success and fun

  • Saves time and frustration (no jumping ahead or getting stuck behind!)

  It’s not about passing or failing—it’s about finding the perfect spot so you and your furry friend can make the most of your training journey.

  Placement Test: Find Your Dog’s Perfect Class Match!

  Brand new to the club but your dog already has some training experience elsewhere? That’s what our Placement Test is for! Our evaluator will walk you and your dog through a few simple exercises to gauge their current training level, focus, and confidence, and help determine which OCC class is the best fit.

  Why take a Placement Test?

  • Ensures your dog is in the right class for their skill level

  • Sets you both up for success and fun

  • Saves time and frustration (no jumping ahead or getting stuck behind!)

  It’s not about passing or failing—it’s about finding the perfect spot so you and your furry friend can make the most of your training journey. 

  Contact the Training Director at training@occdogtraining.org for registration.
