When did the behavior start?

Why this tool

Three things it does that one-size quizzes don’t.

  1. Differential diagnosis

    Distinguish between anxiety, fear, phobia, and medical issues so you get the right help.

  2. Urgency assessment

    Know when to seek immediate vet care versus behavioural training.

  3. Targeted resources

    Get personalised recommendations for your dog’s specific pattern.

One important caveat

This isn’t a vet diagnosis.

The symptom checker helps you understand your dog’s behaviour patterns — it’s not a substitute for a vet or certified behaviourist. If you’re worried, see a professional.
