The Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC) run educational events around the UK with the aim of increasing understanding and practice of good training and behavioural modification techniques for veterinary practitioners, dog trainers, breeders and other professionals and ultimately, the dog-owning public. We are delighted to be bringing this event to Jersey for the first time, with presentations by David Ryan and local APBC member Rosie Barclay. As well as the more structured presentations, there will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion. The APBC bookstand will also be present, giving delegates the opportunity to browse or purchase related books and products.
