A Unique Experience

For a totally unique experience come and and immerse yourself in Oxfordshire’s best kept secret. Our team are experts in animal training – practising operate conditioning and positive reinforcement methods. Set in the beautiful Cotswolds countryside we provide unforgettable experiences, educating on animal behaviour, handling and training.

“Utterly magical experience. This was the most perfect birthday gift and I am already recommending it to every animal lover I know; the animals are all so healthy and happy, clearly very well cared for.”
