Good Pet Behaviour at Advanced Vetcare
Gabrielle established Good Pet Behaviour in 2008, and currently works with owners who have pets with behaviour problems. She consults on a wide range of problems from storm phobias, aggression, compulsive disorders and separation anxiety in dogs, to urine spraying, house soiling and aggression in cats, as well as consulting on the occasional bird with feather picking, or the head-shy horse etc. She offers her services through Advanced Vetcare (a veterinary referral center) in Melbourne and the University of Melbourne Veterinary Clinic, Werribee.
Gabrielle works with Dr Debbie Calnon, Dr Trepheena Hunter and Dr Katherine Macmillan at Good Pet Behaviour. All the staff are very keen to help you with any animal behavioural problem you may have, working with cats and dogs, “pocket pets”, horses, cattle and other large animals, as well as exotic pets.
