Raising the Bar: NICE and the ABTC's Commitment to Canine Wellbeing




In the world of dog training and behaviour, credentials matter. The need for qualified professionals who are using ethical methods has never been greater. That's where the National Institute for Canine Ethics (NICE) comes in, working together with the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC) to elevate standards across the UK and provide more dog guardians with access to kind methods of behaviour modification that do no harm to the dog.


We're not just passionate about dogs – we're committed to ensuring that every dog receives the highest standard of care and training. As a proud practitioner organisation of the ABTC, we are the home of ethical canine practices, setting the gold standard for professionals in our field.


When you choose a NICE member who's registered with the ABTC, you're not just getting a dog trainer or behaviourist – you're getting peace of mind. Here's why:


1. Verified Expertise: ABTC registration isn't just a piece of paper. It's a testament to a professional's skills, assessed and verified to meet rigorous industry standards.


2. Ethical Practice: Our members adhere to a strict code of ethics, ensuring that your dog receives care that prioritises their well being above all else.


3. Continuous Learning: The field of canine behaviour is constantly evolving, and ABTC registered professionals are committed to staying at the cutting edge of best practices.


Becoming an ABTC registered professional through NICE isn't an easy route. It's a commitment and a real achievement to gain a place on the ABTC register through NICE. Each ABTC role requires dedication, expertise, and a commitment to ongoing professional development.


When you work with a NICE member who's ABTC registered, you're not just investing in your dog's training or behaviour modification. You're investing in a relationship built on trust, expertise, and ethical practice. It's a decision that pays dividends in tail wags, happy barks, and the unspoken bond between human and canine.


Together, we're creating a future where every dog receives the understanding, care, and training they deserve and are entitled to.
