Better consultation prep
A structured intake gives owners space for examples and trainers a consistent record before the first conversation.
Ask what happened before, what the dog did, and what followed instead of relying on broad labels.
Record people, animals, caregivers, routines, and environments around the dog.
Rank owner priorities and capture scheduling constraints before the consult.

Intake workflow
Create the form, revise its questions, share it, and review responses before the appointment.
State your consult types, audience, and required intake details.

Structured intake vs open inquiry
A generated intake separates examples, history, goals, and logistics that a single message box mixes together.

Answers for trainers designing a useful pre-consult intake.
It is a pre-consult intake for owner details, dog profile, household context, behavior history, previous training, goals, and scheduling. It gives the trainer a consistent overview before follow-up questions.
Ask for one recent example: what occurred before, what the dog did, and what followed. Add frequency, duration, location, trigger distance, body language, onset, and changes.
Begin with a yes-or-no screen, then show factual follow-ups. Ask when and where it occurred, who was involved, what happened before and after, whether injury occurred, and what management is used.
Add a file upload for relevant clips or photos. Explain what view helps, and tell owners not to stage or provoke an interaction for a recording. Make the upload optional.
Yes. Conditional paths can reveal puppy routines, incident follow-ups, or a profile for each dog. Everyone still sees the shared owner, goal, and scheduling fields.
Ask for format, location, several dates or recurring windows, time zone for remote consults, attendees, and confirmation method. Multiple options make the request easier to schedule.
Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free forms and responses, including generation, editing, publishing, and intake collection. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Responses arrive in your Makeform inbox. Connect notifications or records to Slack, Google Sheets, and Zapier to support your review and scheduling process.
Begin the consultation with context already collected.
