Dr. Michelle is extremely knowledgable, compassionate and pragmatic in all things relating to canine behaviour! We have strictly followed Dr. Michelle's plan comprised of ongoing medication, regular training and daily engagement activities to ensure that Benny can successfully integrate into a world that he often found scary and overwhelming. We are absolutely thrilled with Benny's progress and highly recommend Dr. Michelle for anyone that has challenges in this space. Benny is living his best life and is a truly joyful boy who is slowly putting his traumatic past behind him and we are extremely grateful to Dr. Michelle for her ongoing support and expertise.

Dr Michelle was absolutely amazing at helping us deal with our dog who had big behaviour issues. We loved that she worked with our family and our dog trainer to give our dog the best care he needs. We had an hours drive to get to the practice from our house and was well worth the drive. The care, support and knowledge is worth every cent. Thank you for your services.

We saw Dr Michelle and her knowledge and experience is unmatched. A very personal evaluation, acknowledging all aspects of the dog which isn’t always done. Such a comfortable space, non clinical, which made it so much more comfortable for the dog and less stressful. I love the “1 dog inside at a time” rule, leaving it a stress free visit.

We are forever grateful for all the support we have received whilst trying to make our Frankie his happiest self. Dr Michelle includes us in all decisions and always ensures we are well informed about a variety of options available. Dr Michelle communicates with trainers which makes the combination of veterinary and medical support with behavioural management and modification much easier for any novice dog owner.

Dr. Michelle was recommended to me by a trainer. My dog's behaviour was erratic and unmanageable, but since our sessions he's been much more settled at home, plus we've found some great training solutions. .

My reactive, rescue dog has been seeing Dr. Michelle and the care has been caring, thorough and professional. Dr. Michelle has provided ongoing support through phone calls and email and works to support myself and my dog in all ways possible, including sourcing updates from his trainer.

I am so relieved I was referred to Michelle by my trainer. I had consulted 2 local vets, a community training group and a 1:1 outdoor trainer and was still lost. Michelle helped develop a holistic plan and road map addressing concerns I raised. Having seen how far he has come in the last 2 months I am much more hopeful.

We feel beyond blessed working with Dr. Michelle! We are achieving things we didn’t even feel were possible in such a short time. Most importantly, the relationship with our dog has improved beyond what I could have imagined. The love, care and authentic dedication to her profession and industry does not go unnoticed.

We’re very grateful for Dr Michelle’s support with our Jindo, Miso. He was extremely anxious and wouldn’t even walk down the street—flinching and freezing at the sounds of trucks, bikes and hot air balloons. Michelle quickly understood his subtle signs of fear and provided us with a clear, practical plan combining medication and behavioural strategies. Thanks to her guidance, Miso is now confidently getting around the block again. Michelle’s advice has been thoughtful, reassuring, and easy to follow throughout. We feel very fortunate to have found her and couldn’t ask for better support and care for our little guy.

My dog was a little bit anxious and vigilant towards new experiences . After working with Dr. Michelle, she's a lot more focused, has more attention and engagement and less reactions to things that used to distract her. She's also quicker to calm down again.

I would like to thank Dr Michelle for her exceptional high quality care provided to my fur baby. Jampa. We were so lucky to have found her and received her very comprehensive and loving care during our most testing moment in life. She is definitely a compassionate and knowledgeable vet whom I highly recommend!

Dr. Michelle worked very closely with us including understanding our time crunch (work commitments and extended work trips meant we had to get on top the separation anxiety asap), with getting on top of things and switching things up quickly when it came to “breaking the cycle”. Evie’s mood is much happier and seemingly more confident, and she’s cuddling with us on the couch again.

We have been so thankful for Dr Michelle's support and are so happy to see Junie doing so well. Dr Michelle has supported Junie holistically with medication, training and advice and we are forever thankful to again see a happy little Junie running around with less fear and anxiety!

So very grateful to have found Michelle to help with my 2 dogs. Such a kind vet with a wealth of knowledge around dog behaviour and training. The combination of a local dog trainer (Meg from Dynamic Canine) and Michelle has helped so much. It can be a very lonely, isolated road with dogs with behavioural issues. The support & expertise from Michelle has been so appreciated.
