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'.

Organised by the Responsible Use of Medicines Alliance Companion Animal and Equine (RUMA CA&E), the initative is supported by a range of cross-sector organisations.

Practices are encouraged to use the campaign to engage the whole practice team and raise awareness of the safe disposal of medicines with clients. Learn how your practice can get involved at rumacae.org.uk

Bluetongue RZ extended across Scotland

The Scottish Government has announced an extension to a Bluetongue Restricted Zone that is in place in south-west Scotland.

From 3 October, the Restricted Zone will be extended to cover the whole of Scotland. The Animal, Plant and Health Agency (APHA) says this is in response to further disease spread, as well as simplify trading conditions ahead of the autumn.

Since the whole country will share a disease status, it will no longer be necessary to have a movement license to move susceptible livestock around the country. Restrictions on germinal products remain.

As of 1 October 2026, there were 1,979 cases of BTV-3 in England, 389 cases in Wales and 40 cases in Scotland.
