Adrenaline and stress hormones can act as a natural painkiller and mask abnormalities at the vet’s office. Manual manipulation through physical exams is often not thorough enough to rule out structural issues. This analysis will help you advocate for your companion with your medical team and provide objective feedback.
Behavior can be GREATLY impacted by the presence of pain, discomfort, and other health issues. If your companion is experiencing any of the following behavior problems, this service may be ideal for you BEFORE considering purchasing a training package:
Aggression, irritability or “moodiness”
Resource guarding
Increased fear & anxiety
Poor impulsivity
Poor sleep patterns
Repetitive behaviors such as mouthing, digging at upholstery, excessive grooming/licking, light/shadow chasing, spinning, and many more
Ingestion of inedible items, including feces
Increased vigilance
Noise sensitivity
Separation distress - especially sudden
And so many more!
Health issues can contribute to decreased trainability! If you suspect your companion may be dealing with a health issue, pursue bloodwork and diagnostics. Read more about our stance here.
