No Pain. No Force. No Fear.

Animal Jobs Direct is passionate about welfare and are proud to be a Corporate member of the Pet Professional Guild. The Pet Professional Guild is the only membership organization for professionals who subscribe to the view that aversive methods should never be used – or even deemed necessary – in the training or behavior modification of any animal.

Animal Jobs Direct wholeheartedly support this view and all of our courses, whether canine, feline or other animals are written with this ethos. We advocate force free training throughout all of our theory and practical courses. We also believe that experienced trainers must begin their behavior change programs with the least invasive and least aversive training protocols necessary to change the problem behavior.
