Our Services.
Working on a TV production with animals? Planning an event or social media content? Whatever you’re organising, if you have animals involved then you need expert handlers to help look after them and keep everyone safe.
We can provide animal specialists no matter the type, species or breed featuring in your production. Experts who know what to do in the event of an emergency - and importantly, how to prevent accidents from occurring.
We’ve worked with ITV and BBC, as well as independent producers and directors who have valued our expertise both off and on set. When it comes to animals featuring in any type of media, we can help ensure it runs smoothly and safely.
Animal Handling.
In those rare circumstances when we don’t have access to the specific animal model you require, we call upon our network of breeders, trainers and animal education companies.
And if you’re struggling to find a photographer or a specific venue for your shoot, we can help there as well.
What’s more, our sister company, Vet on Set, is on hand to provide animal welfare monitoring for Clearcast purposes during the production of TV commercials, programmes and films. Visit vet-on-set.co.uk for more information.
Our Partners.
With over 25 years’ of animal training experience, our team of handlers are on-hand to ensure you achieve exactly what you’re looking for in order to meet your production objectives.
We can work with you pre-production to train an animal to perform a particular action. Particularly beneficial for those unique concepts.
We only ever use positive training techniques and we ensure the animal enjoys the whole experience from learning through to perfection and on-set.
Bespoke Training.
Not only are our animals our top priority, we also care for your production and we want the finished edit to be the best it can be. That’s why we take the time to understand your brief to ensure things run smoothly, both during the casting process and on-set.
Casting can be managed by Video or in-person sessions, depending on the performance required. We will help and advise on the best candidate for the role.
Where multiple animals are required in the same production, we’ll manage the logistics for safety and efficiency.
In fact, when it comes to the world of pet modelling, Animal Direction always goes the extra mile and furlong!
