Template FAQs
Common questions about the New Client & Dog Behaviour History Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.
Why does a trainer need my dog's history?
Because behaviour is shaped by background — a rescue with a tough start, a dog that’s moved homes, one that’s had little training. Knowing the history means the trainer understands why your dog does what it does, not just what it does.
What does the behaviour history cover?
Where your dog came from and its age, how long you’ve had it, the household and other pets, health, diet and medication, and any previous training or trainers — the full picture behind the behaviour.
Does it matter if my dog is a rescue?
It can help a lot — a difficult start often explains fears or reactions, and a trainer who knows the background can work with it sensitively rather than against it. There’s no judgement, just understanding.
Why ask about health and diet?
Because behaviour and health are linked — pain, diet and medication can all affect how a dog behaves. A good trainer checks these and may suggest a vet review if something points that way.
How is this different to a behaviour assessment?
This captures the background and history; the assessment looks closely at the specific behaviour itself. Together they give the trainer the full picture before any work begins.
Is the intake form free?
