If you’re dealing with worrying or confusing behaviour in your dog or cat, Wild Things Veterinary Behaviour Services is a small Australian team that focuses on compassionate, evidence-based help to improve pets’ mental health and family life. Founded by Dr Trepheena Hunter, Dr Emma Rigby and Emma Wyllie, they offer veterinary behaviour consultations to diagnose underlying issues and build tailored treatment plans, plus behaviour modification work that prioritises force-free, reward-based methods. They also run puppy training to set up good foundations early, and provide education and hands-on training for veterinary clinics, animal shelters, rescue groups and other animal-care professionals. What stands out is their emphasis on treating the animal’s mental health and the root causes of problem behaviour rather than just managing symptoms, using approaches designed to build resilience, trust and positive motivation for both pets and owners. The team aims to be personalised and supportive — helping owners understand why behaviours happen and giving practical, humane strategies that are safe and enjoyable for animals. They also offer targeted support for shelters and rescue organisations to help rehabilitate and rehome animals with behavioural challenges, combining veterinary assessment with training and staff education to improve outcomes.
