Have you spent an enormous amount of time and money on modifying your dog’s behavior...with no change?
Is your dog's behavior unpredictable, or did it change suddenly?
You may not be dealing with a problematic behavior issue; your dog may be crying out for help.
What Sets Our Behavior Assessments Apart?
After more than a decade of working with dogs facing serious behavioral challenges, I've realized that many troubling behaviors in dogs frequently indicate underlying discomfort or health issues. And, just like us, their outward behavior is a symptom of that dysfunction.
When your dog goes to the vet, they often experience a rush of adrenaline and anxiety, making it difficult for the vet to identify problems during a short 15-minute appointment.
During routine check-ups, diagnosing discomfort or pain may not always be straightforward, and observing your dog's gait, posture, or daily activities isn't possible. By thoroughly reviewing your dog's behavioral history, lifestyle, and watching their movement and posture, I can provide your veterinarian with crucial insights to ensure your dog receives the best possible care. My reports provide your vet with thorough written documentation, photographs, and videos evidencing their posture, gait, and daily functioning.
You can finally uncover the root cause of your dog's behavior and address it effectively.
