Virtual assessments are approved on a case-by-case basis, as this format is not suitable for all dogs. Eligibility and expectations are discussed during the complimentary phone consultation prior to booking. Before the session, you’ll be asked to submit a series of short videos of your dog. These allow for detailed behavioral observation and form a significant part of the assessment process. While the total time allocated matches an in-person assessment (approximately 2.5–3 hours), the live online meeting typically lasts up to 1.5 hours. The remaining time is dedicated to careful review of submitted videos and case details in advance. We will explore your dog’s physical health, routines, behavioral history, and living environment. You’ll be offered a non-judgmental space to share concerns and receive practical, supportive guidance. ⏺️ The session is voice recorded for reference. From this recording, you’ll receive a concise, point-by-point summary along with any relevant resources or links discussed, ensuring clarity and continuity during follow-up support.
