2. To establish and promote the practice of companion animal behaviour therapy as a recognised profession.
3. To act as a forum for the exchange of ideas and information about companion animal behaviour and offer advice and information to all interested parties in order to foster a greater understanding of companion animal behaviour, consequently improving their welfare.
4. To provide support for those currently studying companion animal behaviour.
5. To be recognised as the official body that represents practising companion animal behaviour counsellors.
Description
APBC members are able to offer the time and expertise necessary to investigate the causes of unwanted behaviour in pets, and outline practical treatment plans that are suitable for their clients' circumstances.

The APBC also runs seminars and workshops for its members, veterinarians, and members of the public interested in the field of pet behaviour therapy and dog training.
