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.
