Behaviour Consultation Pre-Session Questionnaire Form

A pre-session template — recent incidents, current management and a video, so a trainer walks into the consultation already prepared.

Description

The hour before a behaviour session is where the trainer gets ready — and this questionnaire makes that possible. Filled in just before the consultation, it captures what’s happened lately, how you’re currently managing the behaviour, and lets you share a video, so the trainer arrives already understanding your dog. It asks the timely things a history form can’t: any incidents since you first made contact, what you’re doing now to manage the behaviour, what a good outcome looks like for you, and a short video of the behaviour if you can safely capture one — often worth more than paragraphs of description. Send it in the days before a booked consultation. Free, brandable, and it means the session starts with the trainer up to speed, so your time together goes straight to helping your dog.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Behaviour Consultation Pre-Session Questionnaire Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a pre-session questionnaire for?

To bring the trainer fully up to date just before a behaviour consultation — recent incidents, how you’re currently managing things, your goals, and a video if possible — so the session starts with understanding, not catch-up.

Why send a video of the behaviour?

Because seeing a dog’s body language and the real situation tells a trainer far more than a description can. A short, safely captured clip is often the single most useful thing you can share.

How do I safely film the behaviour?

Only ever capture it without provoking the behaviour or putting anyone at risk — everyday footage, from a safe distance, is ideal. Never set up a situation that could lead to a bite just to film it.

What if something's happened since I booked?

That’s exactly what this captures — any recent incident or change matters, and the form makes sure the trainer knows before walking in rather than hearing it for the first time in the session.

What should I say about my goals?

Be honest about what a good outcome looks like for you — more calm on walks, safe around visitors, less anxiety alone. Clear goals help the trainer focus the session where it matters to you.

Is the pre-session form free?

Yes — free with a Fun Forms account, fully customisable, and it lets owners upload a video before the session.
