Abstract
A discussion of the roles of Animal Trainer, Animal Training Instructor and Clinical Animal Behaviourist, with particular reference to the dog. A critical consideration for the need for professionalisation and possible legislation of this industry.
It considers the various roles of the trainer and the behaviourist and how these relate to the canine development and the welfare of the dog, owner and society at large.
It then outlines the knowledge base needs for efficacy in the roles, both of theoretical understanding and of practical skills. Finally, consideration is given to the debate of how such knowledge can be / should be acquired, the need for registration and the overarching requirement for any such registration body to be and to be seen to be appropriate, competent and independent.
