Charlotte Animal Behaviour is an independent information portal for pet owners across the UK. We write practical guides on understanding companion animal behaviour, from everyday training questions to the challenges that worry owners most.
The subject is how animals behave and what owners can do
Every guide on this site addresses a question pet owners bring to us: why a dog pulls on the lead, how to ease a cat into a new home, what separation anxiety looks like and where it comes from. We cover the mechanics of behaviour — what triggers it, how it develops, and the methods that help reshape it. The advice is practical, built for households where time is short and patience sometimes shorter still.
This portal is for people living with pets
Our readers are owners, prospective owners and anyone responsible for an animal's daily care. Some arrive with a single pressing problem; others want to understand their pet before a difficulty takes root. The situations vary — a rescue dog with a unknown past, a young cat that scratches furniture, an older animal whose behaviour has changed — but the need is the same: reliable information that respects both the animal and the person caring for it.
How each guide is researched and written
We start with the questions people search for, then check our answers against publicly available research, veterinary guidance and established training principles. Each guide is written in plain language, free of jargon that assumes prior knowledge. When understanding of a behaviour shifts — new research, updated veterinary advice — the relevant pages are revised to reflect it. No guide is set in stone.
What this site does not offer
We do not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe treatment or give tailored behavioural plans for individual animals. That work belongs to a vet or a qualified behaviourist who can observe your pet directly. We sell no products, no services and no training programmes. No article is sponsored, and no ranking reflects a commercial arrangement.
How to reach the editorial team
