Dynamic Dog Functional Assessment
Does your dog have behavior challenges that feel difficult to resolve?
Have you worked with trainers or behavior professionals but progress feels limited or inconsistent?
Do you suspect your dog may be uncomfortable, but you're not sure what you're seeing?
You're in the right place.
Behavior and physical comfort are closely connected. Research suggests that many behavior concerns may involve an underlying component of pain, discomfort, illness, or physical restriction.
A Dynamic Dog Pain & Behavior Assessment is a comprehensive virtual service designed to explore whether physical discomfort may be influencing your dog's behavior.
Using the Dynamic Dog methodology, we'll evaluate your dog's posture, movement, daily activities, behavior history, and overall comfort through discussion, and photos and video analysis. This hands-free assessment is conducted entirely online.
While this assessment does not diagnose medical conditions, it can help identify potential indicators of discomfort and provide valuable information to support conversations with your veterinarian and other members of your dog's care team.
Because behavior is communication—and sometimes that communication may tell us a dog isn't feeling their best.
The Process
Step 1: Deep Dive Consultation
A 90 minute consultation held via Zoom. We'll dive deep into everything about your dog - your dog's behavior, medical history, daily routine, environment and any concerns regarding comfort, movement, or quality of life.
Step 2: Evidence Collection
You'll submit photos and videos of your dog's posture, movement, gait, and daily activities following detailed instructions.
Step 3: Analysis & Report
Using the Dynamic Dog methodology, I'll conduct a comprehensive assessment and provide a detailed written report outlining observations, findings, and recommendations.
Step 4: Follow-Up Review
We'll meet via Zoom to discuss the report, answer questions, and review recommended next steps for your dog.
