A single dwelling home is a must due to barking, and their need to be outside. *

Ownership*

If you rent, please provide landlord's email address in order to confirm permission.

You must have secure fencing of at least 5-feet. Some dogs will climb fencing so be prepared to adapt it so they do not. Tie outs, shock or no fencing is not acceptable. Is this understood? *

	Yes
	No

Did you know that a Great Pyr will escape from shock fencing? If you have any form of shock fencing, please do not apply. Is this understood?*

Pyrs need to stay cool in summer so real grass is required. Sounds like a crazy requirement, but plastic does not breathe. Is this understood?

How many adults in the household?*

How many children in household?*

Ages of all children

How will you exercise the dog and how often? We do not recommend dog parks in the event dogs get into a fight which will only create a fearful dog.*

What type of issues are you willing to work on with a pet? Please explain.*

Are you willing to hire a Trust Technique practictioner if you run into issues such as anxiety and fear in addition to the Recallers program?*

	Yes
	No

Dogs like to please, even Pyrs. If there is a behaviour that is not acceptable to you, it's because he has fear/anxiety or not taught what you would like instead. Be kind and work in partnership with your dog. Be patience, persistence, and peaceful. Does this make sense and do you agree?*

Are you prepared to keep your dog well groomed so his skin stays healthy and ensure his coat remains mat-free and efficient?*

	Yes
	No

Signing up for Recallers or Home School the Dog is highly recommend to set you and your dog up for success. Are you willing to sign up for either of these programs if needed?*
