Behaviorist / Behavior Counselor/Behavior Specialist?

Many of the above terms are used to imply a scientific 'behavior degree' or title where none exists. A TRUE animal behaviorist is certified through the Animal Behavior Society, or the College of Veterinary Medicine. A Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist has completed secondary education to a DOCTORAL level and will often follow their name with CAAB, and a PhD. Beware of anyone referring to themselves as a "BEHAVIORIST" and implying credentials and experience they do not have.
