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.

When can my puppy start Puppy Foundations?

Puppy Foundations is designed for puppies around 3-6 months of age. If your puppy is younger, they may be better suited to a puppy preschool program first. If older than six months, contact us for the most suitable next step.

Does my puppy need to be fully vaccinated?

Your puppy should be well and up to date with vaccinations for their age. We ask for vaccination details in the suitability form to confirm the safest option.

Why do I need to complete a suitability form?

Puppy Foundations is a small-group class. The suitability form helps us check that the class is the right environment for your puppy and that the group remains safe and useful for everyone. If suitable, we send the booking link.

What if my puppy is shy, fearful, or very excitable?

Mild uncertainty or excitement is common at this age, and many puppies do well in a small, structured class. If your puppy is showing significant fear, panic, growling, snapping, or distress, they may benefit from individual support first. The suitability form helps guide you.

What do I need to bring?

Bring your puppy on a lead with a well-fitted collar or harness, plenty of small soft treats, and anything your puppy needs to settle comfortably. Further details provided once your place is confirmed.

What if my puppy is unwell?

Do not bring your puppy to class if they are unwell, coughing, vomiting, have diarrhoea, or have been exposed to a contagious illness. Contact Pet Logic before class.

How big are the classes?

Classes are kept small, with a maximum of six puppies, so each puppy and owner can receive individual support.

Where are classes held?

Classes are held at Pet Logic, Unit 1/49 Dellamarta Road, Wangara, Perth.

Who teaches Puppy Foundations?

Puppy Foundations is personally taught by Dr Liam Brown, Veterinary Behaviour Consultant. The program is designed through a veterinary behaviour lens with a focus on emotional development, safe social learning, and practical foundations for family life.
