Dynamic Dog Assessment

Dynamic Dog Assessment

If you are struggling with behavioural problems or suspect that there is something not quite right with your dogs movement, then the Dynamic Dog Assessment is the service for you, as there could be some underlying pain that is halting your progress with your dog.  

Pain related behaviour is extremely complex. Dogs don’t often show that they are in discomfort in ways we would usually expect, it can often be subtle and goes unnoticed for weeks, months and even years!  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.

The assessment consists of:

  • Deep Dive consult: this can take up to 90 minutes where we look at what life is like for you and your dog
  • Data gathering: we will ask you to provide photos and videos of your dog doing various activities of daily life so we can assess for any physical issues
  • Evidence analysis: we will spend up to a week going through all the data and information you provided in the consult, so that we can build a full picture of what is going on with your dog
  • Veterinary report and liaison: a comprehensive veterinary report is created with corresponding evidence, and we can liaise with your dogs vet on our findings to ensure that any underlying health issues are diagnosed and supported

“Understanding your dog’s gait is like uncovering a map of their movement and hidden struggles.”
