What is a veterinary behaviourist and how are they different from a dog trainer?

A veterinary behaviourist is a registered veterinarian with additional specialist qualifications in animal behaviour medicine. Unlike dog trainers who focus on obedience and skills, a behaviour vet like Dr Liam Brown can assess whether your dog's behaviour is caused by pain, medical conditions, anxiety disorders, or psychological factors. This means they can diagnose the root cause and create a treatment plan that may include behaviour modification, environmental changes, and where appropriate, medication — something trainers cannot do.

How much does a dog behaviour consultation cost in Perth?

Veterinary behaviour consultation fees in Perth typically range from $300 to $600 for an initial assessment, depending on the complexity of the case and the length of the consultation. Pet Logic offers comprehensive behaviour consultations that include a full behaviour history review, medical assessment, and a detailed behaviour modification plan. Visit our Appointments page or contact us for current pricing.

Can a vet help with dog aggression?

Yes. A veterinary behaviour consultant is the most qualified professional to help with dog aggression. Aggression in dogs is often driven by fear, anxiety, pain, or medical conditions — not dominance. At Pet Logic, Dr Liam Brown conducts a thorough medical and behavioural assessment to identify what's driving the aggression, then creates a structured treatment plan combining behaviour modification, management strategies, and veterinary care.

What behaviour problems does Pet Logic treat?

Pet Logic treats a wide range of dog and cat behaviour problems including aggression (towards people, dogs, or other animals), anxiety and fear-based behaviours, separation anxiety, reactivity on walks, thunderstorm and noise phobias, inappropriate toileting, inter-cat conflict, destructive behaviour, excessive barking, and compulsive behaviours. We also offer puppy school focused on prevention and early socialisation.

Does Pet Logic offer puppy training classes in Perth?

Yes. Pet Logic's Puppy School in Perth is vet-led and behaviour-focused, designed and personally taught by Dr Liam Brown (Veterinary Behaviour Consultant). Unlike standard puppy classes, our program is built around behaviour science and early socialisation during the critical development window, helping build calm, confident, and resilient puppies. Classes are held at our purpose-built facility with no shared waiting areas.

Does Pet Logic offer home euthanasia in Perth?

Yes. Pet Logic offers a compassionate home euthanasia service across Perth, providing a peaceful and dignified end-of-life experience for your pet in the comfort and familiarity of your own home. This service removes the stress of a clinic visit during an already difficult time.

Where is Pet Logic located?

Pet Logic is located in Perth's northern suburbs, serving Joondalup, Wanneroo, Stirling, and the wider Perth metropolitan area. Our purpose-built facility features private consulting rooms, no shared waiting areas, and a large indoor training and assessment area — all designed to minimise stress for anxious or reactive pets.

Do I need a vet referral to see Pet Logic?

Contact Pet Logic directly to discuss your situation. Many clients self-refer after recognising their pet's behaviour needs specialist attention. We work collaboratively with your primary care vet to ensure the best outcomes for your pet. Visit our Appointments page to book a consultation.

What Our Clients Say

“One thing that really stood out with Liam was the structured process he takes you through. He explains that effective training comes from building the right foundations first, and he works through this step-by-step using building blocks that develop the skills your dog needs for the training to actually work.
Choco is significantly calmer, more focused, and far more responsive on the lead.”

“His helpful insights into my dog's problem behaviours and practical discussions about ways to improve my interactions with him have saved my rescue dog's life.
I have learnt that his behaviour problems and anxiety really did need specialist help. Our lives are much happier and more relaxed after getting Alfie the help he needs and we can achieve vet visits with minimal stress.”

“Dr Liam at Petlogic is the perfect combination of behaviour expertise and veterinary experience — exactly what our little mate Manu needed. He narrowed everything down to two likely causes: big feelings that needed support, and pain responses — and he was spot on.”

“Dr Liam really helped us to understand Arrow’s mindset, his potential triggers, and how we could better manage these with him.
It’s been just over a week and we are already seeing some great improvements, most importantly, Arrow is much more relaxed and happy, allowing him to have many more positive interactions with our little one.”

“Dr Liam provided us with thoughtful strategies and practical resources to support both dogs through a challenging period and to help us prepare for the arrival of our baby.
Now, four months after bringing our baby home, harmony has returned to our household. Both dogs — especially our little male — are noticeably calmer, and they coexist peacefully with our baby.”

“With Liam’s patience, knowledge and practical advice over the past 8 months, we’ve seen such a positive change in our puppy’s behaviour. We now feel much more confident understanding our puppy’s needs and managing her separation anxiety, reactivity, and most importantly, we’re able to enjoy going on walks again around other dogs.”

“Dr Liam has been a Godsend in helping me navigate my 5 year old and 1 year old dogs through a disruptive and aggressive dynamic to where we can now find doggie peace and harmony in our home.
The lightbulb moment for me was during our consultation with Dr Liam where he logically explained the various methods dogs use to communicate.”

“Working with Liam has made a real difference. Today's session was a big milestone: Dusty was around another dog with no explosions at all, something that felt out of reach not long ago.
We're now moving on to walking alongside other dogs next week, and we couldn't be more proud of how far he's come.
Thank you, Liam, for your patience, skill, and genuine care in helping Dusty rebuild his confidence.”

“Rather than simply focusing on stopping the behaviours, he helped us understand why Tilly was reacting the way she was and gave us practical, gentle ways to help her feel more comfortable and confident. We’ve seen such a noticeable difference in her, and it’s been so lovely watching her become a much happier and more settled dog.”

“Would highly recommend Dr Liam to anyone needing help with their pet’s behaviour. We have so appreciated the time he has spent understanding our dog’s specific problem and knowledge he has shared with us. All information and plans are concise and easy to follow and he is avaliable for follow ups or questions whenever we need!”

“Dr Liam has been phenomenal for our dog Walter who has struggled with redirected-aggression, resource guarding and reactivity to stimuli.
He just gets it, is non-judgemental and is full of ideas and tips to help you and your dog.
We are super thrilled we were sent his way, and have continued to recommend him to friends and family.”

“Liam is a pro. His care and attention to detail is rare. I’ve tried other dog trainers before but wasn’t satisfied. After one session with Pet Logic I now feel at ease knowing I have a found a great mentor for my dog and I to work towards and achieve our goals.”

“Even though he wasn’t able to see our cat directly because of how anxious he was, he still took the time to observe, listen, and explain everything clearly.
He is incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel supported and reassured. The follow-up support via email and phone has been amazing — he’s responsive, thorough, and genuinely cares about helping both pets and owners.”

“Our two Burmese had been best friends for 8 years until they suddenly started fighting badly, even attacking my partner. Liam was responsive, understanding, and gave practical advice, helping us work through a process of elimination until we discovered another cat sneaking into the garden at night was triggering the misplaced aggression. So relieved to have a plan forward without rehoming them — would have been heartbreaking.”

“The training classes taught us the foundation skills to work on at home to help us raise a happy, well-mannered and well-adjusted puppy.
Dr Liam explained the reasoning for teaching each foundation skill, how it builds on future learning, and what those skills look like in real life.
The classes were structured, interesting and informative, and Dr Liam tailored the exercises and homework to the individual puppies' personalities, breeds and needs.”
