Behavioural Consultations

At A Bark Above, we know that behaviour challenges are often a sign of something deeper, and understanding the full picture is key to helping your dog thrive. Our Behavioural Consultations take a holistic and thoughtful approach, combining behavioural science with veterinary insight through our valued partnership with North-West Veterinary Centre.

Together, we look beyond the behaviour itself to consider factors like pain, gut health, chronic stress, hormonal imbalances, or other medical conditions that may be influencing your dog’s emotional wellbeing. Where appropriate, we also explore the role of supplements, dietary changes, or behaviour medication to support your dog’s progress and comfort.

What makes our consults truly different is the depth of support and personalisation we offer. Every dog is an individual, and we take the time to understand their unique learning style, communication signals, and environment. You’ll receive a tailored plan that’s practical, kind, and easy to follow, along with the guidance and reassurance needed to move forward with clarity and compassion.

To ensure we’re offering the highest standard of care, we’ve completed advanced training in behaviour science and proudly hold National Certification as a Canine Behaviour Consultant, the first in Tasmania. This accreditation allows us to bring cutting-edge, science-based strategies into every consultation, supporting both you and your dog with the tools, insight, and empathy you deserve.
