The objective of the Farm Pet Test (FPT) is to examine a pet's ability to work within a farm environment. The dog or cat will be exposed to sights, sounds, and scents around the farm and still must be responsive to the owner. This does not test herding instincts, but rather a pet's ability to behave in a proper manner around the farm.
Backgrounds are allowed (rural/farm type backgrounds encouraged).
A collar or bandanas are optional, leashes are allowed unless specifically excluded.
Tasks Required-
1. Sit, stand, or down calmly
2. Show ability to be comfortable around farm environment. Two pictures are needed showing the pet sitting, standing, or laying down in a calm manner near farm equipment. This can be any hexed toy (hay bale, feed, jump, etc.) or the watering can, box of seeds, or a cat scratcher (representing a gate).
3. Show ability to navigate the farm by jumping on or off of an object in the environment or toy. Jumping a jump does not count.
4. Walk calmly by two or more farm animals, two pictures needed with two different species.
5. Sit or down by one or more farm animal (can be same or different specie as above).
6.
