Which describes Level 3 in the rating system?

• A. Dogs that have been excused from other daycares
• B. Older, calm dogs
• C. High energy/hunting breeds with little training
• D. Regular daycare dogs with no issues

Answer: (C)

Level 3 is about dogs with high energy and little training. These dogs tend to be more challenging to manage in group play because they may have strong prey drives, need more guidance, or become overstimulated quickly. Because of that, staff treat them as a higher-risk group and use closer supervision, smaller playgroups, and sometimes additional training or safety measures to keep everyone safe and engaged appropriately. Other descriptions don’t fit Level 3 because they describe calmer or trouble-free dogs that fit into lower levels: older, calm dogs are typically considered lower energy and easier to manage; regular daycare dogs with no issues are the baseline, also fitting a lower level; and a description about being excused from other daycares speaks to policy or status rather than the dog’s behavior or energy level.
