Pet Behaviourist in Oxford, Oxfordshire

Helping Dogs and Cats Feel Calm, Confident, and Understood

Specialist behaviour support for separation anxiety and a wide range of behaviour challenges — using kind, science-led methods tailored to busy lives.

When Everyday Life Feels Challenging, You’re Not Alone

When behaviour challenges start to impact daily life — from work commitments to precious family time — it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, guilty, and unsure where to turn.

You want the very best for your dog or cat. You’ve given them love and patience, but lasting change often needs more: a calm, expert guide with the right knowledge and approach.

At Talking Pet Behaviour, I provide compassionate, evidence-led behaviour support for dogs and cats across Oxford and Oxfordshire, with a specialist focus on separation anxiety and emotional wellbeing.

Through practical, tailored strategies, I help you understand your pet’s behaviour — and build a calmer, more confident life together.

Specialist help for Dogs struggling with Separation Anxiety

If your dog panics, barks, or becomes distressed when you leave, you’re not alone — and it’s not your fault.

Separation anxiety can deeply affect your dog’s wellbeing and your daily freedom.

I offer specialist behaviour support to help your dog feel safe, secure, and confident at home, using evidence-led, compassionate techniques tailored to your dog’s pace and needs.

Supporting You Through a Range of Behaviour Challenges

While I specialise in separation anxiety, I also support dogs and cats experiencing a wide range of behaviour concerns, including:

  • Emotional stress and anxiety

  • Barking, destructive behaviours, and reactivity

  • Toileting issues

  • Fear of new environments, noises, or experiences

  • Tension between pets in the household

Every pet is unique — and with the right understanding and support, lasting change is possible.

“Clare was great to work with - she gave us a list of manageable and easily understandable tips and behaviour changes, and the difference we’ve seen in our dog since we’ve implemented them is incredible. He’s so much happier and more confident and so are we!”
— Robin M.
