Sandy Springs, GA - March 11, 2026 - Comprehensive Pet Therapy (CPT) has completed a recent round of litter evaluations aimed at identifying puppies with the potential to become future service dogs. The evaluations represent an important early step in the organization’s structured process of selecting and developing dogs capable of assisting individuals with mobility, seizure, and mental health disabilities.
During the evaluation process, a trained CPT professional carefully observed each puppy’s temperament, behavioral responses, emotional responses, aptitude, proprioception, and interaction with humans and novel environments. The CPT evaluator next assessed the puppy with an appropriate score for each of 19 total criteria. In addition, the CPT evaluator weighted each criterion for its significance to the designated service dog role before calculating a final score. The final rating determines which puppies best demonstrate key traits, such as confidence, focus, curiosity, and adaptability, essential for future working service dogs.
By completing candidate evaluations at an early age, Comprehensive Pet Therapy best identifies which puppies possess the highest innate probability of progressing into optimal service dogs. The CPT evaluation process produces high longitudinal accuracy when selecting individual puppies from amongst well-bred litters. The selected puppies subsequently provide high returns on investment while engaged in a rigorous training program, graduating from the program, and eventually functioning as reliable and proficient service animals that maximize the quality of a disabled recipient’s life.
