Students are already taught courses in animal behavior. It is a prerequisite for graduation and licensure. If there are programs that aren't teaching this to their students, then they should not be given accreditation.

Secondly, is this "specialist" going to be providing information on species other than cats and dogs? Not all LVTs go into practices that treat these animals. I for one have spent the last 10+ years working in exotic animal medicine. Are you prepared to have your "specialist in animal behavior" teach students how to understand avian, reptilian, small mammal, and amphibian demeanors?
