Insightful Behaviour Support for Dogs & Cats in Oxfordshire

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, Oxfordshire and online — with a particular interest in separation anxiety and puppy training classes to help prevent future problems before they begin.

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

    Struggling with reactivity, guarding, anxiety or house-soiling? I provide kind, evidence-based behaviour help in Oxford or online, with clear plans tailored to your dog’s needs.

Supporting You Through a Range of Dog & Cat Behaviour Challenges

When behaviour challenges start to affect daily life — from sleepless nights to strained routines — it’s natural to feel overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. You’ve given your pet love and patience, but lasting change often needs calm, expert guidance.

At Talking Pet Behaviour, I provide compassionate, evidence-led support for dogs, cats, and puppies across Oxfordshire and online. Using kind, reward-based methods grounded in behavioural science, I help you understand your pet’s emotions and build lasting confidence at home.

I support families with a wide range of behaviour concerns, including:

  • Emotional stress and anxiety

  • separation anxiety and related problems

  • Barking, destructive behaviours, or reactivity

  • Resource guarding and general stress

  • Toileting issues or house-soiling in both dogs and cats

  • Fear of new environments, noises, or experiences

  • Tension between dogs and cats in the household

  • Over-grooming, scratching, or hiding behaviours in cats

I also offer positive, reward-based puppy training classes in Oxford — helping new owners build confidence, prevent future behaviour problems, and enjoy a calm, connected start with their puppy.

For dogs struggling with being left alone, I provide specialist separation anxiety support through gradual, evidence-based plans designed to rebuild trust and calm.

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

As a qualified pet behaviourist and Registered Veterinary Nurse, I work with kindness, compassion, and evidence at the heart of every session.

I never use force or fear. Instead, I focus on understanding the whole pet - emotional needs, behaviour patterns, and family context - to build lasting change that strengthens your bond and improves everyday life.

My goal is to help you feel calm, equipped, and reassured that change is possible.

Client Feedback:

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!
