Animal Agency - Giving Animals a Voice in their Training
Professional Partnerships & Community Education
The A.B.C. works in partnership with veterinary practices, grooming salons, rescue organisations, charities and other animal-related businesses to promote evidence-based behaviour, training and animal welfare.
As part of our commitment to improving animal welfare and strengthening the relationship between owners and their animals, we offer educational talks and client information evenings tailored to the needs of your organisation and audience.
These relaxed, informative sessions provide practical, science-led guidance that owners can begin using at home to help their dogs and cats feel more confident and comfortable in everyday situations. Events may be hosted by your organisation for clients, adopters or members of the public and can also be adapted for staff education where appropriate.
