Zoo and captive facility animal care sits at the intersection of welfare, husbandry, and public mission — and no two facilities have the same staff capacity, collection, or starting point. The services on this page are not templated programs delivered the same way twice. They're built from a direct conversation about where your animals and your team are right now, what's getting in the way, and what good looks like from here. Whether you're a large accredited facility looking to formalize your training program or a smaller operation trying to solve a specific husbandry challenge, the process starts the same way: a free 30-minute discovery call to find out whether and how this work makes sense for you.
Deliverable Examples
Every engagement begins with a needs assessment. Services are proposed and quoted accordingly. No off-the-shelf packages, no billable hours spent on work your team doesn't need.
Custom Behavior Production Training Plan Bundles
Species-specific training plans built around your facility's actual goals: cooperative care, husbandry behaviors, medical training, enrichment, or public programming. Each plan accounts for your starting point, your staff capacity, and your animals' individual histories. Delivered as working documents your team can implement, track, and build on.
Custom Staff Training Lectures & Workshops
Education designed around what your team actually needs to know, not a generic curriculum. Available remotely or on-site. Topics can range from learning theory foundations to species-specific application, session mechanics, record-keeping, or handling specific behavioral challenges in your collection. Format and depth scaled to your staff's existing experience level.
Remote Consultation & Coaching Session Bundles
Live support for active training and behavior management challenges. This can include direct coaching during training sessions, troubleshooting stalled or regressed behaviors, reviewing video submissions, and working through cases in real time with the staff members doing the hands-on work.
