Behavioural Consultation
Understanding why — and what to do about it
About This Service
Behaviour problems are one of the leading reasons pets are surrendered or euthanised prematurely. Our in-home behavioural consultations assess your pet in their own environment, where problems are most apparent. We identify root causes, rule out medical contributors, and give you a practical, evidence-based plan.

Your Veterinarian
Dr. Jina Song
DVM, University of Melbourne · 10+ years experience
A compassionate mobile veterinarian serving Melbourne, with a special focus on end-of-life care, palliative medicine, and helping families navigate some of the most difficult moments with their beloved pets. After spending years in busy general practice, a move to mobile veterinary care felt like a natural fit — more time with each patient, less stress for animals, and a deeper connection with the families we serve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Aggression (to people or other animals), anxiety and fear, compulsive behaviours, house soiling, destructive behaviour, and reactivity are the most common. If you're unsure, call us.
Yes, when appropriate. Medication is often most effective alongside behaviour modification and is never a substitute for training — we'll discuss all options honestly.
Ideally, yes — especially if the issue involves interactions between your pets. We can assess the dynamic directly and give more relevant advice.
Absolutely. We commonly help families prepare pets for medical procedures and travel using low-stress handling techniques and desensitisation plans.
