Welcome to the IAABC
The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) was founded in 2004 by a group of animal behavior professionals who recognized that the practice of assisting the public with companion animal behavior problems was a growing field without a formal professional body to support it. The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, Inc. elevates animal behavior consulting and training worldwide with ethical standards and is a certifying organization encouraging evidence-based education, professional development, and networking for animal behavior professionals and the public we serve.
