What does FAF Free mean?

Simple! it stands for Force and Fear Free!

It means that we will always use positive reinforcement handling and training methods, with all pets that we work with, based on building a connection with your pet.

Everything we do and every service we provide is based on providing your furry friends with the 3 C’s: Choice, Connection and Compassion.

The 3 C’s

  • We, as guardians, control almost every aspect of our pet’s lives, from what they eat to where they go. Allowing and encouraging our pets to make choices is an incredibly empowering part of their life.


    Giving them opportunities to make their own choices increases confidence, lower stress, and improves our connection with our furry friends.

  • To be able to gain and build trust we need to have a connection with each other and our animals.


    Connecting with our animals means knowing who they are, as an individual, understanding their view of the world and adapting how we interact with them to build their confidence in us.

  • We ensure we are up-to-date with ethical animal training advances, and always use positive reinforcement.

    We want to understand an individual animal’s emotions, meet them where they are at and be able to empathise with what they are experiencing.
