Animal Behaviour and Training Council
ABTC Registered Practitioner (Animal Trainer / Training Instructor / Behaviour Technician)
What this means for your pet
These practitioners deal with training and preventative behaviour work rather than clinical behaviour problems. They have been assessed against ABTC standards for both knowledge and practical competence in their specific role.
About this accreditation
This category covers ABTC training and preventative behaviour roles: Animal Trainers (AT) who work directly with animals, Training Instructors (ATI, Level 4) who coach owners, and Behaviour Technicians (ABT, Level 5) who provide behavioural first aid and implement plans designed by CABs.
Who can hold this accreditation
Must complete ABTC Knowledge and Understanding requirements at the appropriate level (Level 4 for ATI, Level 5 for ABT), pass a Practical Skills assessment, and be a full member of an ABTC Practitioner Organisation.
Referral requirement
No — these categories do not require a vet referral as they deal with training and preventative work rather than clinical behaviour problems.
Professional oversight
Continuing Professional Development
Annual CPD required, audited by member organisation
Complaints process
Through practitioner's member organisation and the ABTC
Insurance
Expected
Legal basis
No statutory regulation — voluntary self-regulation
