Virtual Behavioural Assessment

Service Description

Virtual Behavioral Assessment (Approx. 2.5 hrs) Location: Online (via Zoom or similar platform) (Sliding scale pricing is available for clients facing financial hardship or limited resources. I believe every dog deserves the chance to feel safe, supported, and understood — and my priority is helping as many dogs and their people as possible. If cost is a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out — we can explore pricing options together. Reduced rates are also available for approved rescue and return clients. Please contact me directly before booking to discuss eligibility.) This comprehensive remote assessment is ideal for clients who prefer to work virtually or are located outside the immediate area. Prior to our session, you will be asked to submit a series of short videos of your dog that allow for behavioral observation. Details will be discussed during the free phone consultation prior. While the total time allocated for this service matches that of an in-person assessment (approximately 2.5 - 3 hours), the live online meeting itself will typically last no more than 1.5 hours, as a significant portion of the assessment is completed in advance through careful review of your submitted videos and case details. We will explore your dog’s physical health, routines, behavioral history, and living environment. You’ll be offered a non-judgmental space to express your concerns, and will receive immediate, practical advice along with a customized coaching plan.
