Building Dog Training Services For Chronic Pain

What Is This Webinar Recording About?

You’ve just finished a behavior consult and referred the dog to the vet because something didn’t feel quite right. Maybe they had a limp, a flinch, or subtle posture shifts. The vet confirms it: hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, arthritis, or another condition that explains their behavior.

Now the dog is on restricted activity. The owner is overwhelmed. They thought they just needed training, but now they’re navigating pain management, crate rest, and a lot of uncertainty. Suddenly, your training plan not only no longer applies, but isn’t safe.

Sound familiar?

This webinar is for you. Let’s build something that supports dogs and your business.

Whether you’re a dog trainer, behavior consultant, or canine professional working with dogs in pain, this session will show you how to build thoughtful, ethical services that support dogs after a diagnosis without stepping outside your scope.
