Welcome to the Behaviour Consult Service, the first of its kind on Tasmania’s North West Coast.

Some dogs move through the world with softer hearts and bigger feelings. Their worries run deeper, their reactions hit harder and sometimes love and training alone just aren’t enough. When behaviour becomes overwhelming, for them and for you what truly makes a difference is the right team behind you.

This milestone brings fully integrated, Veterinary + Behavioural collaboration led by Dr Pip and the Forbes Street Veterinary Team, and Isabella, the Coast’s most formally certified Dog Trainer & Behaviour Consultant. This service isn’t just new, it’s something our region has never had access to before, delivered by professionals uniquely educated to offer it!

A Whole Dog Approach, Guided by Expertise You Can Trust:

This service was created for families who need more than private session. It’s for the dogs who feel life intensely, the ones who need care that goes deeper than standard learning. Here, Veterinary Medicine and Behavioural Science come together to see the whole dog; their health, genetics, stress, history, emotions, environment and underlying conditions all woven into one compassionate, highly certified and Fear Free approach for full support.

Every consult is a true collaboration, blending:

• Veterinary insight to rule out or address medical factors

• Behaviour analysis grounded in applied ethology & neuroscience

• Fear Free methodology to protect emotional wellbeing

• A holistic lens that considers the dog’s entire world, not just the behaviour you see

• Clear, personalised plans for real progress and long-term support

Why This Service Matters

Because there is a difference between training and true behaviour support and for the first time, local families finally have access to both, seamlessly combined in one coinvent location!

This service is designed for families who want a deeper understanding of their dog, answers grounded in evidence and science, and compassionate guidance through complex behaviour. It’s for those seeking support that honours both the dog’s feelings and the family’s needs, delivered by a team who sees the whole picture and truly knows how to help.

It’s support that’s comprehensive, professional and genuinely life changing, right here on the North West Coast!
