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 specialist focus on separation anxiety.

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

my approach

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.
