TOP TEN TIPS
- 01
Be sure your pet is in good health and first seek the advice of your vet with any behaviour change. A member of the APBC can talk you through the process.
- 02
Seek advice from a professional that has been fully assessed both in terms of their knowledge & understanding of animal behaviour, and their practical experience – such as a full member of the APBC.
- 03
Asking for advice on social media may be detrimental as it will not be specific to your individual animal or situation.

Use ethical training practices to help change your animals behaviour. An APBC member can go through what is suitable.
- 07
Any training or behaviour recommendations you receive from an APBC member are specific for you and your animal.
- 08
Know what your pet likes as a reward – what you think your pet enjoys and what your pet really enjoys may be different.
- 09
Watch and note any behaviours or body language to begin to learn how they are communicating and so you can pre-empt any unwanted behaviour. Stat by observing one body area, such as ears, in a specific situation.
