A Behaviour Consultation
Animal Behaviour Coaching offers 3 different "A Behaviour Consultation" durations. Initial Behaviour Consultation (2 hours) This consultation is recommended for all new patients. It is required for pets with several problems and/or generalised problems experienced most days. Examples include, but are not limited to, separation anxiety, generalised anxiety, aggression in multiple situations, obsessive compulsive/repetitive behaviours, inappropriate toileting, and excessive barking. If your dog has been issued with a Council Control Order, this is the initial consultation type required. Standard Behaviour Consultation (1 hour) This consultation is recommended for your pet's ongoing revisit consultations to assess their ongoing response to behavioural treatment until their behaviour has stabilised. This consultation option may also be used for new clients/patients that have very specific, situational behaviour problems that they wish to discuss. Examples include, but are not limited to, thunderstorm/fireworks phobia, fearful or aggressive at the vet clinic and/or groomers. Short Behaviour Consultation (30 minutes) This consultation is used for revisits that focus on specific aspects of your pet's behavioural treatment and often does not include a full assessment. This consultation option may also be used in select cases where you are unsure of the service required or where funds are limited. However, you must be aware that a full assessment and behavioural treatment plan is unable to be made in this short amount of time. Please note: occasionally, consultation times will vary from these standard times or from what you have booked. You will be charged for the time taken in 15-minute blocks, whether the consultation takes more or less time than what is booked. Your veterinarian will do their best to advise you of the time throughout the consultation. If you have booked a Short or Standard Behaviour Consultation, ABC may advise that a longer consultation is required to cover all the issues or to meet your behaviour goals. Sometimes, the initial consultation needs to be split over several visits for very complex/involved cases. Assisted Behaviour Coaching (1 hour) Whether a new or existing client, if you require individual training with your pet, then this is the appointment type you need to book. Individual Training Consultations typically take 1 hour, and multiple sessions may be required depending on your training goals and your pet's progress. If you are unsure what service is right for you and your pet, please visit the Services page or Contact Us. |

Telemedicine
This consultation is conducted in the comfort of your own home via Zoom, a private online video meeting room, or via telephone. For detailed instructions on how to use Zoom, please click here. Telemedicine consultations are fantastic if you live a long distance away, your pet is anxious about car travel, and/or you are concerned how your pet will cope in an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar people. They can also be a great option to start treatment sooner if there is a prolonged wait for a clinic consultation as they are often easier to schedule for both parties. It is also a good way to portray your environment without having to book a home visit. Please note: if required, medications cannot be prescribed by ABC via a telemedicine consultation unless you have had a clinic consultation with an ABC veterinarian within the last 12 months. For Zoom consultations, you are required to have a webcam or camera phone, be with your pet, and have access to the internet. Ensure that you detail if you would like a Zoom or Phone consult in the "Appointment Notes" section upon booking. *By clicking "Book Telemed Now", you have read, understood, and accept the Terms and Conditions of Miem Services Pty Ltd, trading as Animal Behaviour Coaching.
Home Visit
Home visits are the gold standard for behaviour and training consultations as they occur in an environment that is relevant to you and your pet. Behaviour is context-specific and as such, the environment can cause marked changes in your pet's behaviour. Videos and descriptions often provide a good substitute to a home visit, however cannot reproduce all the factors created by a home visit. If you book a home visit, travel fees may apply (please contact ABC prior to your appointment for an estimate). Please note: Home visits are only available within a 50km radius of the above locations. To book a home visit online, click on your closest location above and select "we'll come to you". Please ensure you book the appropriate amount of travel (per km), as per Google Maps. Your appointment may need to be changed by ABC depending on other bookings that day and the estimated travel time. |
