The Animal Behaviour and Training Council is a registered charity which sets and maintains standards of knowledge and practical skills needed to be an animal trainer, training instructor or animal behaviour therapist and maintains the national Register of appropriately assessed animal trainers, instructors and behaviourists.
ABTC members include major animal welfare charities, educational organisations and membership organisations for practitioners. ABTC requires members of practitioner organisations to reach and maintain set standards to be included on the Register. It also provides a list of approved education providers for those wishing to enter the profession.
ABTC represents the training and behaviour sector to the public and to governments.
