The Dognition Profile Report

When you complete the Dognition Assessment, you'll receive your dog's unique Profile Report — 10-15 pages that describe your dog's unique genius. The Profile Report will give you individualized insight into the cognitive strategies your dog employs, and in-depth breakdowns of the results of each game. With millions of potential outcomes, each report is one of a kind — just like your dog.

A Maverick or a Charmer?

The Profile Report will also reveal your dog's Profile Type. Each of the 9 Profile Types represents a distinct combination of characteristics that shape your dog's approach to everyday life. Socialite? Einstein? Protodog? What is your dog?
