About ABC

As companion animal behaviour professionals, we often work in this industry alone. This means we have limited opportunities to collaborate with each other, and to provide each other with frequent support. At the Animal Behaviour Cooperative (ABC), we have changed this, by joining as a team of experts, to better serve the animals and caregivers we support.  We are not a trade organisation or assessment body – we are a mutually trading consortium, run and owned equally by our members, who are small, independent clinical animal behaviour practices.

On veterinary referral, our team of experts at ABC help companion animals and their caregivers better understand each other, using reward and evidence-based techniques. We provide expert advice and support with behaviour problems such as:

• aggression
• phobias
• overexcitability
• compulsive disorders
• age-related conditions
• inappropriate elimination
• destruction
• excessive vocalisations.

Many of our experts also provide support with training, such as:

• recall
• general obedience
• tricks
• target training
• cooperative care
• socialisation foundations

…and much more.  We counsel for a range of species, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and parrots around the UK, primarily through home visits, video calls and behaviour clinics.

Each individual and their family is provided with tailored support specific to their issues and circumstances. We are here to listen and work with you to find a kind, realistic solution. Having attained exceptional academic qualifications and extensive practical experience, our experts are fully insured and committed to the highest ethical standards set by the profession.
