Two decades of dog therapy
UKRCB is celebrating 20 years of success

The UK Registry of Canine Behaviourists (UKRCB) is celebrating its 20th year of successful dog therapy.

UKRCB bases canine behaviour advisors up and down the country who use their proven records in dog training to help owners with a number of dog behavioural issues. These can include aggression, barking and nervousness, among other problems.

The organisation was founded in 1992, and offers a referral service to veterinary surgeons as well as those who own dogs. It also has a member system, where members can share their knowledge and help improve dog behavioural issues nationwide, where the number of canines has increased to over 8,000,000.

Lisa Graham of UKRCB said: 'We are delighted to be celebrating our 20 year anniversary. It's a real milestone for us and everyone interested in advancing responsible dog ownership.

'Over the past 20 years, UKRCB members have helped thousands of owners to understand their dogs and train them to integrate into the family home'.
