About this Mentorship

The IAABC is pleased to offer a unique opportunity in the industry: a horse behaviour consulting mentorship.

The mentorship will cover:

The consultation process
Effective history taking
Creating a realistic behaviour modification plan
Managing client expectations
Working with vets and other professionals
Handouts and resources
Branding and marketing your business

About IAABC Mentorships

Each 8-week mentorship provides mentees with ongoing online chat, video exchanges, documentation, links, and scheduled weekly live chats via video meeting.

Mentees can discuss their own cases or any others, ask questions about application and theory, ask for tips and advice on overcoming specific challenges, and be guided toward even higher levels of professionalism and effectiveness. The mentors are there for the mentees, and offer all help and discussion that each mentee finds useful.

Auditing is also available Auditors may observe and learn about topics under discussion between the mentor and full mentees. Auditors do not attend the weekly live chats, may not introduce their own cases or ask for specific input on their own work. Auditors may participate in ongoing topics and discussions, and their questions will be answered if time allows. Auditing is simply an opportunity to observe and learn from the mentees' and mentors' experiences.

Auditor Spots are all 8 CEUs for CCPDT.
