Why we come to you
Behaviour consults in the home
Every initial consultation is a two hour house call, anywhere across Sydney.
We see your pet at home
Separation distress, guarding the couch, barking at the front window: much of what we treat happens at home. Seeing it in place tells us more than any description can.
No car trip, no vet hospital stress, no waiting room
For some anxious or reactive pets, getting to the clinic is part of the problem. A home visit lets us see them where they're most comfortable.
Two hours and no rush
Time to take a full behavioural history, watch how your pet moves through their own space and talk the plan through with everyone in the household.
Who we are

What we do
We diagnose the root cause of a behaviour
As behaviour vets, we diagnose the root cause of a behaviour holistically. Many behaviours can be caused by physical problems such as pain, skin, hormonal and neurological disease. They can also be caused by emotional issues like stress, anxiety, fear and phobias.
Behaviour vets are qualified in veterinary behavioural medicine, so we diagnose and treat these mental health issues. We are able to prescribe medication when required.
We only use evidence-based, fear-free methods in the rehabilitation (training) treatment of behavioural problems. We will never ask you to do anything which could damage the relationship you have with your pet.

Since treatment began, both boys have become less scared of people and other dogs, settle more quickly if they do get excited and respond better to training and cues.
