You’ll learn about:

The Body Talks: Using the Galen Comfort Scale to Understand Behaviour

Julia Robertson – Founder of Galen Myotherapy

Julia brings a groundbreaking, choice-led approach to canine physical wellness. In this session, she will talk about the Galen Comfort Scale – a proven tool that helps you assess subtle signs of physical discomfort that may show up as behavioural challenges.

When dogs are physically uncomfortable, they can’t learn well — or feel safe. This tool gives you a clear, structured way to observe and support their comfort on every level.

You’ll learn how to:

Use the Galen Comfort Scale across 4 key areas
(Physical, Behavioural, Digestion, and Other Indicators)

  • Identify and interpret subtle changes in comfort

  • Track patterns and spot early signs of discomfort

  • Adjust your work or care plan based on holistic observation
