A Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB or CCAB) can provide advice based on their expertise, experience and training.  It is not possible for them to "fix" behavioural problems, however, through a process of understanding the underlying causes and motivations for the behaviours; the pets individual/breed needs; and any potential links to pathologies that require diagnosis from the referring veterinary surgeon, it is possible to provide treatment, that is likely to be effective based on best practice and scientific evidence.

Clinical Animal Behaviourists (CAB's or CCAB's) have academic knowledge of ethology and learning theory. Through the scientific application of this knowledge, they take into consideration individual differences, circumstances and the dynamics of the human-animal relationship, in order to help the caregivers to modify or manage the behavioural concerns. In many cases, they also help to modify the caregivers behaviours or expecations, and may suggest changes to the environment in which the pet lives.

Trainers usually have a wide-ranging set of skills in training, typically working with issues such as failing to come when called or pulling on the lead. 

Ali has over 17 years experience in both training and behaviour.

For the best chance of success, the treatment will require a lot of time and commitment from all members of the family.

Phone and email follow up support is provided and the option to have follow up visits.

You must therefore be prepared to implement the treatment programme, under the guidance of the Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB or CCAB).
