Composition of registered dogs and the observations owners report at registration. These views describe who walks through the door, not what BDC measures during evaluations.
Reported by the owner during registration. Not directly measured by BDC.
How quickly registered dogs get their first on-site evaluation after the owner registers. Computed across registered dogs that also have at least one dated evaluation.
Foundational metrics and distributions across all evaluations, providing a snapshot of the dataset's composition and basic characteristics.
About the dataset. Balance Dog Centre has conducted more than 500 unique evaluations since 2017. Only the entries with complete and consistent data are published in this dashboard, so every figure shown below reflects an evaluation we can stand behind in full.
Comparative views of evaluation scores across different categorical groupings, revealing patterns by evaluated dimensions.
Puppy: Young dogs still developing. Highest health scores but lowest obedience, as expected for dogs early in their training journey.
Front: Bold, forward-facing dogs. Tend to score higher on engagement and greeting but may show more reactivity with animals and people.
Back: Reserved, cautious dogs. Generally lower engagement and greeting scores but can be steady once comfortable. Benefit from confidence-building exercises.
Middle: Balanced temperament dogs. Score moderately across most dimensions, making them adaptable and generally easier to train.
Medium: Average drive and energy. These dogs are the most common and respond well to standard training programs.
Solid: Strong drive and high energy. Tend to score higher across obedience dimensions and show more consistent responses to commands.
Weak: Lower drive and more sensitive. May need gentler training methods and more patience. Often score lower on engagement but can improve significantly with the right approach.

Cluster 1 (Well-Trained Social Dogs): High obedience scores, strong social skills, and reliable responses. These dogs are well-managed and respond consistently to training. Most valuable for advanced activities and group environments.
Cluster 2 (Untrained but Friendly): Low obedience but high friendliness and social scores. These dogs have good temperament but lack structured training. Prime candidates for obedience development programs.
Cluster 3 (Reactive/Anxious): Low social engagement, variable reactivity, and anxiety indicators. These dogs need specialized handling, behavior modification, and may benefit from focused anxiety-reduction training.
Dogs with two or more evaluations on different dates. Each card shows the change between the first and most recent evaluations. Click any card to expand the per-dimension comparison.
Below are 9 examples of dogs that came back for a follow-up evaluation. All nine came in scoring in the lower half of the dataset, so all nine had clear room to improve. What separates them is not just the size of the change but the consistency of training between sessions: dogs near the top of the list trained regularly (weekly classes, BDC club sessions, structured follow-up), and dogs near the bottom had less consistent contact.
