Behaviour Consults

Behaviour consultations are for dogs who are reactive, anxious, aggressive, or struggling with big emotional responses. These cases often require more than standard training — they need behaviour-focused support that addresses emotional regulation, stress, and underlying causes.

Each consultation includes a detailed assessment and practical, realistic strategies to support both dog and owner. The aim is not quick fixes, but meaningful, sustainable behaviour change that holds up in real life.

Behaviour support is particularly well suited to dogs that have not responded to basic training alone, or whose behaviour is driven by stress, fear, frustration, or over-arousal.

As Southern Tasmania's only certified dog behaviour specialist, The Dog Dynamic offers tailored, force-free, science-based support for both complex behaviour cases and everyday training goals.

In 2025, Isabel became a fully certified Canine Science Behaviourist (CSB) – one of only a handful in Australia, and the only one in Tasmania.

With this qualification comes a deeper level of service, especially for behaviour work. These prices reflect the time, preparation, and expert support involved in each case.
