Briggs Zoological Consultancy recognizes that every facility and its animal collection are truly individual and unique. To better accommodate the diverse needs of our clients, we now offer Virtual Consultation as a flexible alternative to our traditional on-site visits.
Our Virtual Off-Site Training service expands upon our established Animal Training Consultation offerings. Leveraging various video conferencing platforms, we can provide customized support and guidance without the need for in-person meetings.
This approach enables us to deliver tailored solutions while maintaining the high standards and personalized attention our clients expect. It is also possible to have a hybrid program where there is a balance between in-person consultation with support of “Between Visit” updates or progress analysis via one of multiple communication venues.
Programs are designed from the ground up! Your staff will be trained in a mentorship program to apply operant conditioning techniques to the animals that they care for. This type of training will benefit the staff in developing a closer relationship with the animals and allow for visual inspection that is safe for all personnel involved.
Every zoo is unique with staff, exhibit design and goals. My services are designed for your facilities needs.
We provide customized husbandry training programs for zoos and aquariums to improve animal care. Our courses focus on positive reinforcement, animal choice, the Five Freedoms, and promoting positive interactions with all species.
Your staff will participate in a structured mentorship program, learning how to apply operant conditioning techniques directly to the animals under their care. This approach ensures effective knowledge transfer and practical skill development in animal training.
Recognizing that every zoo is unique in its staff, exhibit design, and operational goals, our services are designed to meet the specific needs of your facility. We collaborate closely with your team to ensure the training program aligns with your objectives and environment.
All quotes include travel expenses, on-going email, and phone consultation as well as training video consultation between site visits. After each site visit, a training report will be provided that summarizes the visit and provides recommendations and direction for management and staff.
With on-going consultation through email, video and telephone consultation (between your site visits) should any questions or concerns arise, immediate assistance will be provided.
All program quotes are inclusive of travel expenses, ensuring transparency and convenience for your facility. In addition to the in-person training sessions, our support extends beyond site visits through ongoing consultation services. Staff and management will have continuous access to expert guidance via email, phone, Zoom/Teams/Google Hangouts and training video consultations between visits, facilitating uninterrupted progress and problem-solving.
Following each site visit, a detailed training report will be provided. This report will summarize the activities and outcomes of the visit, delivering clear recommendations and actionable direction tailored specifically for your management and staff. These reports serve as valuable tools for tracking improvement and ensuring alignment with your facility’s objectives. This allows for measurable results by staff, management and consultant.
Should any questions or concerns arise during the interim (period between site visits), immediate assistance is readily available. Our team remains accessible through addressing issues promptly and supporting your staff in implementing best practices and solutions as needed, through near instant access.
