Scoring:
If your Total Score was 10, congratulations! You have a good relationship with your dog. Instead of hiring a dog trainer, spend the money on dog toys and a trip to the coast with your dog :)
If your score was between 10 and 20, you may want to schedule one training session to get things all dialed in nicely with your dog.
If your score was between 20 and 75, you will likely benefit from one or more training sessions.
If your score was 100, i recommend hiring a dog trainer.
