Dr. Michelle Rassool Behaviour Veterinarian

Dr. Michelle Rassool is a Melbourne-based veterinarian who specialises in veterinary behavioural medicine, offering warm, evidence-based support for animals and the people who care for them. She combines clinical veterinary knowledge with practical behaviour-modification strategies to help pets—especially dogs—who are struggling with anxiety, trauma-related behaviours, or other behavioural challenges. Her approach is compassionate and pragmatic: she works collaboratively with owners, trainers, and industry professionals to develop tailored plans that may include training exercises, ongoing behaviour support, and, where appropriate, medication management. Clients can expect personalised behavioural consultations that assess an animal’s history, medical background, and environment to build realistic, humane treatment plans. Dr. Rassool emphasises education and clear guidance for owners so strategies can be applied consistently at home, and she provides industry consultancy for trainers and organisations seeking specialist behavioural input. The practice promotes a holistic model—combining veterinary care, medication when needed, and structured training—to reduce stress and improve welfare, helping pets live calmer, happier lives. If you’re a dog owner confronting difficult behaviours or a trainer wanting clinical behavioural expertise, this practice focuses on practical, evidence-led solutions delivered with empathy and collaboration.
