STREAM is an acronym and worksheet that implores you to consider different behavioral and physical signs of pain/discomfort in dogs. By assigning number values to different categories, you can put your observations into perspective.
No more gaslighting yourself… “Am I making it all up, is there anything here at all?” Dog guardians should be empowered to make observations and advocate for investigations into pain/discomfort/health.
This worksheet is in NO WAY a substitute for working with a qualified professional. Scores are arbitrary. Regardless of score, all dogs deserve to have their physical health be earnestly considered especially as part of a behavior modification program.
This worksheet is free to download and distribute.
