La Asociación Internacional de Consultores de Conducta Animal (IAABC) representa educación de alta calidad y basada en estándares internacionales.

La División Español ofrece la oportunidad de capacitarse y de certificarse a la comunidad hispanoparlante. La nueva acreditación de entrenadores caninos (IAABC - ECA) en idioma español es un sello de calidad para aquellos profesionales que demuestran sus conocimientos teóricos y prácticos del manejo y entrenamiento de perros mediante una evaluación rigurosa, anónima y objetiva. Nuestros miembros gozan de un aprendizaje en común e interactúan con sus pares, lo que le da una perspectiva global a nuestra comunidad.

Desde su inicio en el año 2017, nuestra división ha crecido enormemente y seguimos trabajando a toda marcha. Tenemos cada vez más miembros en Latinoamérica y España y nos entusiasma poder presentar, lo más pronto posible, la oferta completa de la IAABC tanto en inglés como en español.
