Questions
Does the sheet say what vaccinations a dog needs?
No. That is for your own admission policy, the owner's vet and the rules where you are. The sheet records the dates as shown on the dog's paperwork, so you can check them against your policy.
Why ask about bites and guarding before the trial?
So the trial can be planned around the answer: which dogs it meets, how many and where. A dog that guards toys, for example, is better introduced without them.
