Dynamic Dog Assessment
Looking at the full picture to understand your dogs behaviour
Service Description
**Please note if times available via the website are not suitable please send me dates which best fit you and I can check availability. The Deep dive is approximately 90 minutes in length** A Dynamic Dog Consultation is very different from most canine behavioural assessments. All aspects of both you and your dogs day to day life are taken into consideration, from their behaviour, to what they eat, the way they move, sleep, play and routine. Working with a sound knowledge of the inner structures and systems of the dog we understand the impact that emotional and physical health may have on a dogs behaviour. Everything is connected and that is why we insist on a FULL and DETAILED assessment when working with you and your dog. What to expect on top of the standard behaviour assessment? All About your Dog – Deep Dive This is carried out online via zoom lasting about 90 minutes we take a look at what life is like for you and your dog. Be warned we want to know EVERYTHING which often leads us down previously unexplored territory. This will include initial management advice on the behavioural issues you are struggling with whilst the assessment takes place. Data gathering Additional information in visual form – photos and videos of your dog doing various activities of daily life so we can assess any physical issues. Evidence Analysis We spend 48 hours going over all the data and information given to us in the consult so we can build the full picture of what is going on with your dog. Veterinary Report and Liaison We then construct a comprehensive veterinary report with corresponding evidence and liaise with your dogs vet with our findings to ensure that any underling health issues are diagnosed and supported so that they lessen the impact on your dogs behaviour. 20-30 minute phone call to discuss the report and any findings from the assessment and behavioural guidance based on findings. This advice may be short term to help you micromanage behaviour whilst additional Veterinary support is given or longer term help can be discussed depending on assessment outcomes. Either way we make sure you have full support during the initial Dynamic Dog Assessment. If you are working with another professional please see the standalone assessment where I will happily give recommendations to your trainer if you'd prefer.
