    If you don't currently have any, but can safely capture some before the appointment, please bring them to share with Dr. Squair or email them to hello@truenorthbehaviour.com prior to the appointment.

    Please do NOT attempt to capture footage in any situation where a person or animal could be harmed. Do not provoke aggression or reactivity just to get it on video. Dr. Squair doesn't need to witness these behaviours firsthand to evaluate your pet - discussing behaviour patterns and history, along with assessing body language in clinic, gives her a clear clinical picture.
