If your dog’s behaviour is affecting your daily life — or you’ve been referred by your vet or veterinary behaviourist — a one-on-one behaviour consultation is the place to start.
What’s involved
Every consultation is tailored to your dog’s particular breed, age, and situation. The goal isn’t just to address the behaviour you’re seeing — it’s to help you understand why it’s happening and what your dog needs. As a qualified behavioural consultant, I use modern, ethical, science-based methods, and keep my training current through annual conferences and workshops. You’re also welcome to get in touch for support at any point in between. Consultations are available in your home across Melbourne’s inner and suburban areas, or online.
What’s included
- 1–1.5 hour session, tailored to your dog
- Follow-up phone call at around two weeks
- Email check-in at four weeks
Session fees
In-home sessions from $175. Every consultation is tailored to your dog’s needs, so I’ll confirm exact pricing once I understand your situation — get in touch and I’ll send a personalised session plan and pricing within 48 hours, no obligation. Most clients are seen within around 10 working days.
Multi-session packages are available at a reduced rate for ongoing support — ask about current savings.
Common behaviour concerns
resource guarding · nuisance barking · over-excitement · destructive behaviour · arrival of a new baby or puppy · two dogs in the home · newly adopted dog · breed suitability advice · Therapy Dog assessment preparation · MindDog assessment training
If your dog is showing aggression, fear, reactivity, or significant anxiety, please start with a Behaviour Consultation — this ensures your first session is properly tailored to a more complex case.
