Hey, I’m Dr Liam
Quite a few years back, I brought home my dream dog — a young Doberman. I’d imagined all the things we’d do together: long walks, hiking, sport work. But by six months of age, that dream had turned into chaos. He was reactive, unpredictable, and I felt like I was walking on eggshells every time we went outside.
I tried everything. I read books, spoke with trainers, followed advice from well-meaning people — but nothing worked. Every outing felt like a battle, and honestly, it broke me a bit. I remember coming home from walks feeling angry, guilty, and completely lost. I was a vet, yet I couldn’t even help my own dog.
That experience changed everything for me. It pushed me to dig deeper — to really understand behaviour, emotion, and the way stress shapes the animals we live with. I went back to study, learned the science behind behaviour, and developed the skills that completely reshaped how I help dogs and their people.
That journey is why I built Pet Logic…
My struggle with my own dog wasn’t a failure—it was the beginning of Pet Logic. It forced me to look beyond standard training methods and into the science of how animals think, feel, and learn. It’s why our approach today is built on a foundation of three core principles:
Veterinary Medicine: To rule out or address any underlying medical issues that contribute to behaviour.
Neuroscience: To understand how stress and anxiety impact your pet’s brain and actions.
Behaviour Science: To apply proven, ethical, and effective strategies for creating lasting change.
We don’t just address the symptoms; we get to the root of the problem.
That Experience Changed Everything
A Foundation of Science and Compassion
My approach is backed by years of dedicated study in veterinary medicine and animal behaviour. My formal qualifications include:
Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine & Surgery (Murdoch University, 2007)
Membership by examination into the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists - Veterinary Behaviour Chapter
Continuing Veterinary Education one-year course in Veterinary Behaviour (University of Sydney)
But learning never stops. I am committed to ongoing professional development with world-renowned experts in key areas, ensuring Pet Logic always uses the most current, effective, and ethical methods available.

We understand that if your dog is reactive or anxious, the last thing you need is the stress of navigating a busy waiting room or running into other dogs. That's why Pet Logic operates from a dedicated, purpose-built facility designed with your pet's comfort and safety in mind.
What makes our space different:
Ample parking directly out front - No walking down the street or navigating busy car parks. Park right at the door and walk straight in.
No shared waiting areas — Your appointments are carefully scheduled to ensure you won't encounter other dogs on arrival or departure.
Private consulting rooms — A large space where we can focus entirely on you and your pet.
Large indoor training area — A spacious area for practical work and skill-building.
Whether your dog is anxious, reactive, or simply needs a calm space to learn, our facility is designed to set them up for success from the moment they arrive.
A Safe, Calm Space for Your Pet
My Goal
Helping animals has always been my calling. As a behaviour veterinarian, I bring together the science of veterinary medicine, neuroscience, and behaviour with the practical skills of dog training to help pets and their families live calmer, safer, and happier lives — building understanding, communication, and trust between the animals and the people who love them.
If you’re at your wit’s end and nothing seems to be helping, I’ve been there too — and I can help.
