NOTES FOR APPLICANTS AND REFEREES: THE FELLOWSHIP


1. Applications to the Fellowship of the Canine and Feline Behaviour Association are considered from individuals who can be shown to have made a significant and original contribution to dog behaviour, training development, and/or general pet welfare.

2. Eligibility may be founded on one or more of three criteria:

i. A person through considerable experience in canine behaviour and or training based on original work in the field and as a front line practitioner.

ii. the publication of one or more books or the publication of a body of scholarly work (e.g. learned articles, essays, educational films, media production)

iii. a major contribution to canine or feline behaviour scholarship in a form other than publication; e.g. A recognised academic qualification that directly relates to cat or dog behaviour and that has been successfully applied.

3. Applications should be supported by one Fellow of the Association who has knowledge of the applicant's experience and or practical work. S/he need not be known to the applicant personally. A list of current Fellows is available on request, or on this website: It is important that the recommendation demonstrates knowledge of the applicant’s work and testifies to the quality of the applicant’s contribution to dog/cat behaviour training and general welfare.

4. Applications are considered by the Associations Governor’s Committee, which reserves the right to request further references if necessary. The final decision on applications is made by the said Governors.

5. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. They will be considered at the next meeting of the Governors. Applicants and their referees will be informed once a decision has been made on the application.
