Welcome

...to the Companion Animal Behaviour Institute.

Wouldn't you love to work with animals professionally?

Did you know that some Pet Behaviourists in Australia charge up to $550 for a single consultation? Even at the low end, fees range from $150 to $200 per consultation.

You can learn to be a professional Companion Animal (Pet) Behaviourist with the Institute's courses. 

Whether you are already employed in the pet-care industry and would like to expand your qualifications, or want to start your own pet behaviour clinic, or simply want to add to your own personal knowledge and development... with your Institute Certification you will be able to consider exciting new vocational opportunities in the field of animal care and welfare.

Pet owners are developing tighter bonds with their companion animals than ever before. So much so that pets are now considered to be close friends and even valued members of the family in many households. Is it any wonder that Companion Animal Behaviourists... Behaviour Consultants... Pet Therapists... Pet Counsellors... Pet Psychologists (the title may vary, but the role remains the same), are in such high demand?

As an Institute-trained and certified behaviourist you will be able to assist animals and their owners to attain psychological and emotional wellbeing. Can you think of any other vocational opportunity that offers the level of satisfaction, enjoyment or personal reward that working with animals can offer?

We are concerned about the vast number of family pets that are abandoned each and every year, and it is with this greater purpose in mind that our courses have been developed. The Institute is seeking...

1. To confront the issue of the thousands of dogs and cats that are put down each year because they behave in a way their owners either don't like or can't handle. The tragedy is that in most cases these problem behaviours can be very easily addressed by someone who simply knows how. 

- and -

2. To address this issue by providing easily accessible education that is aimed specifically at the general public, not academics. We have done this so people who would like to begin working in the pet industry, or those who are currently involved in it, such as dog and cat boarding facility operators and staff, breeders, pet sitters, pet minders, veterinary nurses, pet shop staff, and pet owners themselves can learn skills that can be effectively used, both professionally and personally, to help address problem behaviour in pets.
