Dog doesn't pass, it gets put down.
In my opinion you would only fail if the dog showed serious signs of aggression. This would eliminate the possibility of having a guard dog, but I don't really care. You don't need a guard dog. Get an alarm. At least you can't lose momentary control of an alarm and have it maul someone.

I'm just going to ignore the inhumane aspects of this (which are vast) and focus a bit on the logistics. You say the users would pay for it, but realistically how often will that happen? How are you going to enforce the evaluations? Raise taxes to hire a task force?
This is similar to the repeatedly proposed breed bans that have proven in the past to be incredibly expensive, and yet showed almost no reduction in dog attacks.
