Welcome to CAPBT |
COAPE Association of Pet Behaviourists and Trainers - CAPBT |

Affiliate Members tend to work with pets and their owners in related fields such as veterinary nursing, assistance dog training and in dog training centres. Their behavioural work may therefore be restricted to animals seen within their own veterinary practice or place of employment, training centres etc. Practitioner Members have been further rigorously assessed and accredited, and tend to work in broader independent behaviour referral practice. Cases are treated strictly on referral from veterinary surgeons in general practice. |
All members work under a strict Code of Practice (please Click Here to read the COAPE COP) which includes the assurance that coercive or punitive techniques and equipment are never used in treatment. CAPBT members maintain their state-of-the-art competence and knowledge through attending various Continuing Professional Development courses offered by COAPE and others, and have ongoing access to a wealth of expertise and support via a lively Members Association of over 300 qualified members. You can be assured of the very best of qualified and up to date help with a CAPBT member! |
