Advanced, evidence-based expertise in animal behaviour, welfare, and human-animal relationships.
An Associate Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (ACAAB) is a professional with advanced graduate-level education in animal behaviour science, hands-on experience working with behaviour cases, and a commitment to ethical practice.
Certification through the leading professional organization in North America for the study of animal behavior, the Animal Behavior Society (ABS) demonstrates specialized training in understanding and treating complex animal behaviour challenges using evidence-based methods. Unlike unregulated titles such as “behaviorist” or “behaviour consultant,” ACAAB professionals have completed extensive academic and practical training to meet nationally recognized standards in the field of applied animal behaviour.
