HELLO!

Animal Behaviour Australia can help you with your pet's behaviour or to prevent behavioural issues from emerging in the future. 

 

Animal Behaviourists know how animals think.  Some people call us Pet Whisperers. We are trained Animal Behaviourists who understand how animals, think, feel and act the way they do. We know how to solve problem behaviours and can also prevent problems from ever taking hold. The result is happier pets, happier owners and better communication between the two!

We empower YOU to overcome the problems you're having and build a happier relationship with your pet!

Services are available Australia wide - no matter where you live.

Our mission:  

Happy people, wagging tails, and purring felines!

Animal Behaviour Australia - Talking To Animals
Fun. Motivating. Solutions for pet behaviour problems

We help people to understand their pets and enable them to solve or prevent behaviour problems often in just one hour.

As a trained Animal Behaviourist we've worked with 100’s and 100’s of pet owners across the UK, Australia and worldwide. Like Dr. Harry, our Behaviourist is a trained professional.

​​

Animal Behaviour Australia has been developed to drive a mission: To change the way that people ‘talk’ to their pet.

​​

Pet owners in Australia face three main issues when it comes to dealing with negative pet behaviour in their pet:

  1. Lack understanding: Most people don’t understand the root cause behind their pet’s negative behaviour.

  2. Lack direction: They lack a proven humane method of fixing problems.

  3. Give up or look in the wrong places: They either put up with problems unnecessarily or give up on their pet. Or, try to fix issues by wasting money and time on so-called gurus or expensive dog training.

​​

Because of this Animal Behaviour Australia has developed and built an online consultation service and training platform accessible right across Australia to teach you to understand and communicate with your pet.

We:

  1. Provide the understanding: We teach you why your pet does what it does and how to talk to them – we bridge the communication barrier.

  2. Provide direction: We spend time with you and your pet and show you how to overcome annoying behaviours.

  3. Provide qualified help in solving problems: As qualified Animal Behaviourists we help you to understand the root cause and then teach you how to solve, fix and prevent behaviour problems.

​​

We know you love your pet, but sometimes they are a little misunderstood. We teach you with a proven online program to enable you to get back on track or to prevent problems before they arise.

Opportunity: Learn the strategies required to enable you to shape the behaviour of your own unique pet!

We offer you the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a qualified Animal Behaviourist in your own home, at a time convenient to you, no matter where you live in Australia. We will assess your pet and your unique situation via video call. This allows us to assess your pet's true behaviour because they are unaware we are watching them. Sneaky! This proven method allows us to get to the bottom of the root cause quickly, enabling us to design a tailor-made solution and plan for you to work from.

My Story

MY STORY

Dionna Newton, Animal Behaviourist, and founder of Animal Behaviour Australia explains her story of how she came to create Animal Behaviour Australia.

ABOUT

ME

Dionna Newton - Animal Behaviourist

My name is Dionna, I am a Pet Behaviourist. I help people to understand their pet and to solve and prevent behaviour problems.

I am an experienced and qualified Animal Behaviourist.

As an Animal Behaviourist I am not a dog trainer or a vet. I am an Animal Behaviourist. My value is that I look at what motivates and drives your pet to perform undesirable behaviour. I then advise how to re-direct unwanted behaviour to an alternative suitable behaviour acceptable to both you and your pet. I work with Pet Owners to find solutions to their pet's behavioural problems. And I provide Preventative Consultations to enable owners to avoid problem behaviour from the start. More on both of these are covered within our services here

I am originally from the UK and have a Bachelor of Science Honours Degree. My Honours project focused on animal behaviour. I started training ​in Animal Behaviour at university and then trained specifically on Pet Animal Behaviour through the Centre of Applied Pet Ethology (COAPE) – a training college that specifically teaches Pet Animal Behaviour. 

I use MHERA™ A practical, easy-to-use, yet powerful approach that assists me in identifying key emotional aspects of problem behaviour and the factors reinforcing it and defines how best to approach precise treatment.
I can design a Behaviour Modification Plan (BMP): a written road-map report that details the nature of the problem and specifies instructions on how to help resolve it.  BMPs are tailor-made to each case and are designed with the owner to ensure instructions are practical and achievable.

No matter how big or small the behavioural issue, a solution exists!

Book an appointment today and start building a happy relationship with your pet!

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

At Animal Behaviour Australia, we are committed to rectifying the cause of your pet’s behaviour problem. We enable you to move forward positively, with a problem-free pet.

We advise seeking help to address the cause, and symptoms, by booking a Behaviour Consultation for your pet with our Animal Behaviourist. Get your own targeted treatment plan for your unique pet, and individual circumstances. Each pet, owner, and situation is different, so every plan is different. A Behaviour Consultation is more affordable than you might realise. Get help for your pet. BOOK NOW!!
