Problem Behaviour Solutions

As professional animal behaviourists - not just trainers - we specialise in the assessment and resolution of serious problem behaviours including aggression, reactivity, obsession, separation anxiety and more. We apply the science of behaviour and learning and the art of dogmanship to help you understand and solve your dog’s behaviour problems. And all of the solutions we recommend are practical, pragmatic and cost effective.

Assessments start from just $349.

The first step is booking a formal behavioural assessment using our online appointment system. There are options available for both weekday and weekend appointments.

Private appointments for minor issues such digging, barking and jumping up are also available below.


Private Appointments

Private appointments are a great option for families dealing with minor behavioural issues including nipping, chewing, digging, barking, jumping up and pulling on the lead.

Private appointments start from just $99.

Find an appointment time and book using our online scheduling system. We have options available for weekday and weekend appointments at your own home.
