2. Cleaning - All floor surfaces should be free of debris, mopped or vacuumed prior to the arrival of the canine inspection team. This reduces the risk that the canine will encounter foreign substances and odors that could either injure the canine or adversely impact the quality of the inspection.
3. Pets - Pets may remain at the location. However, all pets must be crated or secured in a separate room away from the areas being inspected (bathroom area is preferred). If the pets need to be moved during the inspection, it is the responsibility of the owner to do that. If pets are not crated or secured away from the areas to be inspected, the inspection will be postponed.
4. Access - The more access the inspection team has to the areas like the closets and storage spaces, the better the inspection results will be. Please make items accessible in the closets, storage spaces and other confined areas that need inspection.
5. Air Flow - Please turn off all personal fans at least an hour prior to the inspection team's arrival. This will help limit airflow and allow inspection team to accurately pinpoint problem areas.
6. Other - The ability of the canine team to inspect the bedroom and living room area is crucial. Please limit the amount of clutter around beds, couches and chairs so the team can inspect them without hindrance.
