Please see this link:

The Animal Behaviour and Training Council

Apparently the ABTC is a new regulatory body being put together to register all trainers and behaviourists in the UK...What exactly will this mean for trainers and behaviourists? will it be a mandatory requirement or is this just another organisation like the APDT etc? If it is to become mandatory what will the critera be to qualify?

There are so many trainers and behaviourists with many different backgrounds, some academic, lots of letters after their name etc and some who have many years of hands on experience but with no formal qualifications at all, the number of courses available and organisations to join is an absolute minefield. recently there is also a great deal of conflicting views between these bodies with regards to training and behaviour, Thus, Many trainers still work completely independently. How will new legislation affect dog training clubs where many of the trainers are simply volunteers?

I am interested to hear from trainers and behaviourists out there? if you are aware of this how will it affect you?

She'll eat a ham sandwich (given the opportunity) but if I seperate the constituents she will eat the bread and leave the ham untouched.

Same with other meats, too.
