The Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors CIC

Excellence in Animal Behaviour & Welfare

The Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors CIC (APBC) is a network of friendly and professional practitioners who collaborate extensively with vet-led teams, focusing on a variety of species such as dogs, cats, horses, small mammals, reptiles, birds, and other animals. APBC members offer an array of services, both in-person and remotely, including those for international clients. Additionally, the APBC is dedicated to organising regular events for pet guardians, trainers, behaviourists, and veterinary professionals. At the heart of everything we do, animal and human welfare is core to our practice.

Full and Associate APBC members are assessed as having met the relevant standards set out by the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC).

These standards are supported by many veterinary organisations. Our members are dedicated to promoting animal welfare through training and behaviour change.
