Welcome
At Behaviour Matters, we specialise in kind, science-based behaviour modification and training designed to improve the lives of pets and their families. Using positive reinforcement and fear-free methods, we help resolve behaviour challenges while strengthening the bond between you and your animal companion.

Whether you’re struggling with aggression, anxiety, reactivity, or general behaviour concerns, we offer customised consultations to understand the root cause of the behaviour and develop a practical, compassionate plan for change.

How it workes
Step 1 – Initial Conversation
We begin with a phone or in-person discussion to understand your pet’s behaviour concerns, goals, and your expectations. This helps us create an initial management and training plan.
Step 2 – Pre-Consultation Form
You’ll receive a short form to gather medical history and background details—critical for identifying underlying causes.
Step 3 – Home Consultation (90–120 minutes)
We evaluate your pet in their home environment; this helps determine triggers, motivations, and contributing factors. You will receive immediate strategies and exercises to begin addressing the behaviour straight away.
Step 4 – Written Behaviour Plan
A comprehensive, tailored behaviour modification plan is emailed to you within 5–7 days.
Step 5 – Follow-Up Support
A follow-up discussion takes place 2–4 weeks after the consultation to assess progress and determine whether additional support is needed—particularly important for more complex issues such as aggression, reactivity, and separation anxiety.
