Dynamic Dog Assessment

Course Summary

As an expert in figuring out the complexities of behaviour. Let me help you figure out your dogs behaviour.
I do an assessement that is complete and taking in everything about you and your dogs life which includes a functional assessment.
A Dynamic Dog assessment 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, to 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 & your dog.
What to expect on top of the standard behaviour assessment?
All About your Dog - Deep Dive It starts with a intake behaviour assessment form. After that I want to meet with your on a Zoom Call ( you get to be comfy) and go through the information in this form. Lasting approximately up to 90 minuntes maximum I take a look at what life is like for you and your dog. Be warned I will want to know EVERYTHING which often leads us down previously unexplored territory.
Data Gathering Additional information in visual form - photo's and video's of your dog doing various activities of daily life so we can assess any physical issues. This is only hands off only.
Evidence Analysis I then spend 48hrs going over all the data & information given to us in the consult so we can build the full picture of what is going on for your dog.
Veterinary Report & Liaison I can then construct a comprehensive veterinary report with corresponding evidence and liaise with your dogs vet with our findings to ensure that any underlying health issues are diagnosed and supported so that they lesson the impact on your dogs behaviour.
Behaviour Management Plan This may be a short term to help you micro manage behaviour while additional Veterinary support is given or longer term help can be discussed depending on assessment outcomes.

Either way I make sure you have full support during the initial Dynamic Dog Assessment.

Why is pain the name of the game? It's not always a limp or a whine! Pain related behaviour is extremely complex. Dogs don't often show that they are in discomfort in ways we would usually expect, it is often subtle and goes unnoticed for weeks, months and even years! It can be seen in behaviour changes or even slight behaviours we would not think about as contributing to the dogs discomfort.

A common trigger for reactivity is pain or discomfort. It is important that all reactive dogs are checked thoroughly for pain and illness, especially where reactive behaviour develops suddenly. Pain may be joint pain, muscular pain, gut pain etc. It may also be temporary pain or the memory of pain. Note that one of the purposes of adrenaline is to reduce our perception of pain so if your dog gets stressed at the vet you may not get an accurate assessment of pain because of this. Symptoms of discomfort are many so I want to help you and your dog so by getting this type of assessment done we can be armed with evidence to bring to your next veterinary appointment so as a team we can help you and your dog.

In a recent study carried out in Lincoln University by Daniel Mills, it was found that approximately 80% of dogs that presented with behavioural issues had some form of undiagnosed pain that was a direct cause or adding to a problematic behaviour.

A Dynamic Dog Practitioner has been taught the skills to confidently spot potential signs of discomfort and relay them to the vet so that you and your dog find relief sooner, whilst simultaneously helping you manage your dogs behaviour. Why wait for your dog to go lame, before you consider they are in pain?
