I totally agree with twilightwolf there about a behaviourist, and make sure they're APBC, that's the important bit so you won't get a wannabe, and good luck with Anton, he deserves a chance.

LOL---Attila is not a wanabee!

He comes personally recommended by three other forum members.

lots of other non-APBC behaviourists available too

I'm only going on who I've been recommended to by an old trainer of mine and it was her who stated she is APBC which means a LOT (apparently!) in the world of behaviourists What does it mean btw lol!

Don't forget, there's nothing to stop you or I suddenly becoming a "behaviourist" tomorrow is there?!

thanks Claire! So it appears, you've got to be a CCAB first before you can go on to be an APBC full member, but at least this way, you know they haven't dreamed themselves up overnight. Mine is also a Bsc (hon), but then I'm just showing off again lol! I like the idea of the vet referral too, which probably might not happen with those of lesser qualifications, or rather you would feel more confident that you are getting a good one!

p.s. who mentioned Attila??? I certainly didn't! I was purely commenting that there are a lot of pretenders out there, just like there is in all spheres, i.e. plastic surgeons, dentists, you name it.

Isn`t there an Attila who does HTM?

It is the same one, as I posted earlier on...........

Yes I had him for Cherry's fear-reactivity to other dogs. He's brilliant.

He is the person who is going out to them----if you read the thread you will see it.
