Interdisciplinary Collaboration

I collaborate with colleagues and professionals from other fields to achieve the best possible outcome for your animal.

​

Collaboration Between Disciplines

As with any examination, it is important to view the entire dog — not just an isolated region.
Collaboration between different professional disciplines is therefore essential to ensure the dog receives the most comprehensive and effective treatment.

​

If the veterinary chiropractor is not the dog’s primary veterinarian, internal communication and interdisciplinary understanding are highly beneficial.

​

Behavior Therapists

Behavior therapists play a crucial role in distinguishing between dogs that are poorly socialized or inadequately trained and those that are dysfunctional due to pain or other underlying conditions.

​

Throughout a treatment process, communication and cross-disciplinary understanding remain vital.

By maintaining dialogue, professionals can help break negative behavioral patterns — since both body and mind retain the memory of pain for a long time.

Breaking such a pattern can be key to restoring balance and calm.

​

Trainers

Trainers at various training facilities also play an important part in the relationship between dog and owner.
Ideally, a trainer should recognize when a dog that does not follow the “usual” learning pattern may have reduced learning ability due to a mental or physical dysfunction — for example, related to pain — somewhat comparable to ADHD in children.

​

Early therapeutic intervention can prevent many frustrating training sessions with dogs perceived as “stubborn” or “unwilling,” by addressing the underlying physical or neurological issue instead.
