CAAB Directory

The Animal Behavior Society does not offer behavior counseling or services. These are available through Certified Applied Animal Behaviorists. Please contact one of those listed in the CAAB directory below. If there is no Board Certified Behaviorist in your area, there are also some behaviorists that offer phone consultations. You would need to contact them individually.
