Helping Companion Animals Worldwide

It can be hard to find a source of reliable animal behavior advice. Providing evidence-based resources for the general public fills that need and improves the lives of their pets. Here's how we help extend up to date, industry best practices to the final stakeholders in our important mission.
 

Introducing our Newest Resource!

Understanding our clients and having the tools to work with them compassionately and inclusively is critical to the work of animal trainers and behavior consultants. We are thrilled to introduce the first industry-specific toolkit for working with LGBTQ+ clients.
 
This toolkit will be available to the general public for a limited time, and then will be provided as a benefit of IAABC membership. Go to the LGBTQ+ Toolkit page.

As a member, I get to network with experts in my field all over the world. This allows me to expand my knowledge in cat behavior as well as shelter behavior. As the feline behavior manager in an open intake shelter, this opportunity to learn from the best has allowed me to ensure the mental health and behavior needs are met for the cats in our care. The IAABC is the "go to" place for people all over the world to find experts in animal behavior. As a certified member my profile is available for the public to view.

IAABC has been an invaluable learning tool for both myself and staff. As a shelter professional, the webinars provide relevant and up to date information to be used in multiple formats. The online convenience allows for continuing education, minus the travel.The mentorship programs are nothing short of amazing, including the pricing . This organization is always looking forward and growing.
