About us
Who are PETbc?
The PETbc represents organisations, partners and affiliates who work in the canine education sector in the UK. These can be divided into two groups. The canine behaviourists / psychologists and professional dog trainers who may specialise in dog behaviour at higher levels of problem behaviour reformation. The second group are other disciplines that are mainly education and or a skill set that involves understanding dog behaviour, assessments, genetics and breeding programmes for stable temperaments. This includes breed judges, groomers, kennel management and general dog welfare.
The PETbc represents over 2100 experts who work in the Canine Training, Behaviour and Education disciplines in the UK.
The Pet Education Training & Behaviour Council (PETbc) was established in 2009
PETbc was established in 2009, at the instigation of Sir Colin Spedding, after a series of meetings of canine trainers and behaviourists held under the auspices of the Companion Animal Welfare Council (CAWC). Part of the CAWC remit was to achieve common standards in dog behaviour and training. The PETbc was the first and only organisation in the UK to be approved by Sir Colin Spedding following the 2008 review into the industry.

Setting the Standards
What does the PETbc do?
Why Join Us?
There is increasing pressure to regulate the pet education industry and alongside the regulatory pressure (which in itself is not bad thing) there is an increasing risk, if the voices of all interested parties are not adequately heard, that the industry will find itself regulated by those who have an exclusive rather than inclusive agenda and that dictates to rather than listens to and considers the collective wisdom of all established organisations within the industry.
We listen to our member organisations, obtain your views, endeavour to understand your concerns and provide a strong and collective voice for all.
Giving the Best Advice
The PETbc has always since inception been actively involved in advising and influencing those responsible for developing and implementing governmental policy and legislation pertaining to our industry. We will continue to work on behalf of our members to ensure their interests and concerns are properly considered in any future changes in law and regulation of the pet industry.
Unrivalled Support
The PETbc strongly believe that people should have access to professionals that have been trained both theoretically and vocationally by species specific tutors, who themselves benefit from a vast amount of experience and are recognised as successful practitioners in their field, we support member organisations who follow this philosophy. In addition, we support organisations and their respective members through projects that further the process of learning and management to improve the quality of services they provide.
