Clinical animal behaviourist

A clinical animal behaviourist helps owners of companion animals such as dogs, cats and horses with problem behaviour, usually working on referral from a vet so that medical causes can be ruled out first. The work combines knowledge of ethology, learning theory, animal welfare and human psychology. In the UK practitioners are normally educated to degree level or higher in clinical animal behaviour, and many are assessed by organisations recognised by the Animal Behaviour and Training Council.
