Whether you're a pet owner, sport dog enthusiast, or working dog handler, play holds meaningful value for both dogs and humans. 

Every dog is unique, and there are many ways to approach play. This toy play assessment is designed to be simple, accessible, and easy to set up—giving handlers a clear starting point to understand their dog’s play style and what motivates them.

But this is just the beginning. Once you identify what drives your dog in play, we encourage you to create play sessions that tap into those motivators—deepening engagement and strengthening your bond.
