Don’t Guess. Start Here.
reactive? sensitive? handling issues? aggression? stubborn?
Before spending hundreds or even thousands on training solutions for your dog’s behaviors, start here. Why?
Why? Because how we feel is linked to how we behave.
Research suggests that up to 80% of pet behavior cases have an underlying pain component.
Dogs who are stiff, in pain, sore, uncomfortable, itchy, or otherwise not feeling well, are more likely to display reactive, aggressive, overaroused, compulsive, and other “bad” behaviors.
This means, training may not be the solution.
Well, this might not actually be the best way to look for those subtle signs of pain. Dogs are hardwired to protect themselves and not show weakness, especially when anxious. At the vet, they will most likely hide those signs.
The Dynamic Dog process makes sure your dog is always in a comfortable space so that they will be more likely to show us how they’re really feeling. Once we get this evidence, you can then take it to your vet for the next steps!
Maybe a Vet Check will do the trick?
The Dynamic Dog Assessment is a comprehensive consultation and look at your dog’s history, routines, home environment, how they move, and day-to-day wellness to identify potential discomfort and its impacts on behavior.

-
The Deep Dive Consultation
60-90min virtual consultation held over zoom.
Be prepared to answer a lot of questions about your dog, their history, routines, your home environment, their behavior, and more. Some might seem silly but there may be important information to be learned!
-
Evidence Taking
You will be given a checklist to take specific photos and videos so that we can analyze them. This will be done in and around your home so your dog is most comfortable.
We do offer assistance with this step if you are within our service area for a fee.
-
The Report Write-Up
We will take what you have given us and will write up a comprehensive report detailing your dog’s functional assessment and the next steps to take.
This report will be primed to send to your veterinarian to provide valuable information and aid in their assessment.
-
The Follow Up Call
30-45min virtual call held over zoom.
We will go over what was found during the analysis in easy to understand language, since the report is written in veterinary terminology.
We will continue to support you beyond this session to make sure you and your dog get the help you need!
🟆 Investment 🟆

If you suspect pain or discomfort to be the cause of your dog’s behaviors, we actually recommend against seeing your vet - at first.
Why? Because dogs are hardwired to protect themselves and not show any weakness. Your vet will most likely not find anything because of this. This is why it is so important to collect evidence before going to see your vet.
This is what I am trained to do!
-
Does your dog struggle with behavior problems including but not limited to:
Aggression - reactivity, barking, lunging, snapping, growling, showing teeth, etc.
Handling Issues - unable to be groomed at home or in a salon, vet visits are stressful, can’t be checked over safely, etc.
Fear - avoidance of people and dogs, noise sensitivity, etc.
Stubborn Behaviors - stopping on walks, avoiding cues/commands, picky with food, etc.
Over Excitement - mouthing, jumping, difficulty settling, pulling on leash, etc.
Have you tried to get your dog checked out by a vet at the recommendation of your trainer only to be told your dog is okay?
Do you feel stuck or overwhelmed with your dog’s behavior challenges and want a plan that actually works before spending hundreds of dollars on a trainer?
If yes, then this assessment should be able to get you started on the right path - again, before your spend hundreds on training solutions that may not work.

A Dynamic Dog Assessment does not provide a medical diagnosis and does not replace veterinary care. Instead, it helps identify patterns and possibilities that may warrant further investigation.
We highly encourage you to bring the report to your vet so that they can properly assess, diagnose, and offer their suggested treatment plans accordingly.
