When discussing rehabilitation, include how your dog experiences travel, arrival, the setting and time with the team. Those details can help the clinician understand the appointment as a whole rather than as separate tasks.
Ask how emotional wellbeing is considered when choosing an approach and reviewing a session. There should be room for your observations, for the dog’s responses and for a conversation about specialist support when appropriate.
