Did you know that science has proven that there is a huge link between behaviour and pain/discomfort in dogs? It his been proven that pain can be a major contributing factor and sometimes the direct cause of many unwanted behaviours!

Let's look at how! Imagine your dog has an undetected issue with in their front elbow they are now overcompensating to ease the discomfort on the affected limb which then causes tension and issues with the other limbs. You are out on a walk and a young juvenile dog bounds over wanting to play, this play increases the pain your dog is feeling. association? Dog=Pain.
Your dog barks the other dog off and they are left with the idea that Dog=Pain.

Next time your dog sees a juvenile dog they bark to try and avoid them, they tense and pull forward which again exaccerpates pain only re-enforcing to your dog the idea that juveile dog=-pain!

Now we have a problem! 

Dogs are incredibly skilled at masking pain as part of their survival instincts so if your activley seeing pain in your dog then chances are it's bad! To top it off when a dog goes to a vet they are generally fuelled by adrenaline, this then works as a mild pain reliever making it super difficult to detect pain without further investigations. 

My journey to becoming a dynamic dog practitioner was tough but so so worth it! I did it and now I am qualified to work with you and gather the evidence that may indicate your dog may have potential pain. We will work together via an in depth video consultation followed up by the gathering of videos and stills of your dog to analyse! I will analyse EVERYTHING all in a place your dog is comfortable (not adrenaline fuelled). I will then put together the evidence in a professional report to send across to your vet if needed. My job is to recognise where there may be pain/discomfort and then the vet has tonnes of extra evidence they wouldn't have had in order to decide if further investigations are warrented!

Let's take a quick look at Bob.

Bob is a 2 year old lab who was reluctant to enter the car, he would intermittently growl at strangers (humans) especially those that went over his head with their hand, and could sometimes bark and lunge at other dogs this behaviour was seemingly unpredictable.

My observations of B indicated that he could potentially be suffering from some form of pain or discomfort, he displayed lots of signs that he was overcompensating which will have been placing extra strain on other areas of the body and building tension.
B's report went to the vet and he was given a full clinical examination. The vet stated that he showed no signs of pain on the clinical examination however due to the evidence recieved they wanted to investigate further. B was booked in for xrays on the vets recommendations and due to the evidence and history the vet already had an idea of what area of the body they was looking at. 

B underwent xrays and it was found that he was suffering from hip dysplasia in his left hip which is now being treated and B will feel much more comfortable.
