Behaviour changes are often linked to pain or discomfort. This hands-off, remote assessment looks at how your dog moves and copes day to day, with a written and video report shared with your vet.

Book a free discovery call for honest advice and to see if we’re the right fit. Or, for a quick steer, book a 30-minute Pick My Brain call for £30.

I work 1:1 with behaviour cases for dogs of all breeds. I don’t run classes, but if you have a Cockapoo puppy, you’ll find my puppy guides at cockapoo52.com.

Prefer to learn at your own pace? My online courses cover crate training, recall and tricks. ➡️ See the online courses

Expert dog behaviour and training services in Bristol and surrounding areas

I care about you and your dog and pride myself on offering a professional yet personal service. As a leading expert in dog training and behaviour, I believe I can help you achieve your dogs’ potential.

At Talk to the Paw, I understand what it’s like to raise a puppy. I have experienced the ups and downs of owning a difficult teenager who doesn’t listen and seems to forget all their training. I know the joy and worry of taking on a rescue dog. I understand what it’s like to live with a dog with aggression issues towards people/other dogs as I have been there myself.

And because I understand how you are feeling, I can listen and work with you. I combine my knowledge of behavioural and learning science with my compassion and understanding of people to provide an all-round supportive service for you all your dog needs.

 

What people say about Talk to the Paw

English Setter recall training in a field

"Absolutely brilliant, with amazing patience. They showed me, a middle aged experienced dog owner, new ways of breaking down modern training techniques. This helped my dog master all the basic skills to be well behaved, sociable and relaxed. They helped me understand how to read the body language of my dog and identify things I could tweak in my own behaviours to help progress. I can personally highly recommend them.

Clair supported us amazuingly on our behaviour journey, going above and beyond.There is also video content available to download outside of the sessions. Plus Clair was easily accessible via whatsapp to assist us with anything we were struggling with. We were very confident in her expertise and accessibly. I've already started to recommend her to other dog owners. Champion!"
