    Dog Behaviour

    Is your dog struggling with fear, anxiety, reactivity or aggression? We'll build a tailored plan to help them — and you.

    Expert help for your dog's behaviour

    Our veterinary behaviour consultations address the full range of canine behaviour concerns — from anxiety and reactivity to aggression and compulsive behaviours — with a tailored plan designed around your dog, your family and your everyday life.

    Behavioural consults

    For all behaviour problems such as:

    • Situational fear and phobias (e.g. in the car or veterinary clinic)
    • Anxiety (e.g. generalised, separation)
    • Noise sensitivity (e.g. to thunder, fireworks)
    • Reactivity
    • Aggression towards other dogs, to strangers or in the home
    • Obsessive-compulsive disorders (e.g. tail-chasing, flank sucking, pacing)
    • Inappropriate toileting/house soiling
    • Age-related cognitive disorders (e.g. senility, dementia)
    • ANY unwanted behaviours.

    We will formulate a specific plan for your dog that involves environmental management, behavioural modification programs, training of specific behaviours and appropriate medication if indicated.
