We are a team of veterinarians and behaviour professionals dedicated to helping dogs and cats thrive. We combine evidence‑based behavioural medicine, compassionate care, and a deep understanding of animal emotions to support pets and their people across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
After completing a research degree in animal production, Trepheena made the change to animal health and became a veterinarian. Trepheena always had a passion for veterinary behaviour and started seeing behaviour clients as a new graduate in her first job. She has been a veterinarian for over fifteen years during which time she has worked in mixed practice, small animal practice, behaviour practice, and managed the behaviour department in a large open-intake shelter.
Trepheena has been working in behavioural practice for over ten years. She undertook specialist training and is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists and a registered Specialist in Animal Behaviour.
Trepheena has an empathetic and pragmatic approach to veterinary behavioural medicine, working to support the human-animal bond using the latest scientific knowledge. Trepheena shares her home with her husband and two sons as well as her beloved two cats, turtles, and chickens.
Emma has worked as a veterinarian for over twenty-five years, gaining valuable knowledge in medicine and surgery, and building strong relationships with her clients and their pets. Her passion for behaviour medicine led her to attain further qualifications and focus on veterinary behavioural medicine.
For the past eight years, Emma has worked in private behaviour practice and shelter behaviour, where she treated animals in the shelter and in their homes after adoption.
Emma shares her home with her husband, two adult children, and two cheeky cats.
Hannah has enjoyed working in the veterinary industry for over twenty years and has practiced as a veterinarian for the last eleven years in both general practice and emergency clinics, with rescue groups in Melbourne, and as part of a home call service.
Over this time, her passion for veterinary behavioural medicine has grown and lead her to further studies and qualifications in this area. Hannah enjoys developing relationships and understanding with pets and their people and is passionate about enhancing the quality of life for all her patients.
Hannah lives with her husband, two young sons, and a much loved dog. In her spare time she enjoys running, reading, and going on adventures with her family.
Tina has enjoyed working as a veterinarian in small animal practice for over twenty-five years. During a break from being a vet to have children, she completed a post graduate course in Animal Behaviour. She then decided to obtain further qualifications in this area to treat the growing number of patients she was seeing with behavioural problems in general practice.
She lives with her husband, two teenagers, two cat brothers, and a dog. In her spare time, she likes to read and watch movies with her cats and explore new places with her dog. She also loves to spend time with her human family.
After studying animal health, behaviour, and welfare at university, Seren decided to pursue her passion for animal behaviour, completing a nationally accredited qualification in training with the Delta Society.
For the past six years, Seren has been working as a behaviour trainer, both in shelter behaviour and private practice. She has been involved in the behaviour department of a large welfare organisation in several capacities: as a volunteer, behavioural trainer, and in a leadership role. She has experience in delivering behaviour modification programs for dogs in the shelter environment, providing educational programs, and working with private clients and their pets.
Seren is dedicated to evidence-based, force-free training, and values a compassionate approach for both animals and the people who care for them. She shares her home with a very silly, and very sweet, young cat.
Maddy developed an interest in animal behaviour while completing a Certificate IV in Companion Animal Services and joined the team shortly thereafter.
For the past four years, Maddy has enjoyed keeping us all organised and supporting our clients and their pets. Maddy shares a home with her partner and their young working dog. On weekends they enjoy finding quiet spots for nature walks near where they live around the Dandenong Ranges.
