- Teach children what our pets need through discussion of the 5 freedoms.
- Teach children the correct handling of animals, through practical examples
- Reinforce learning through age appropriate workshops.

What to expect from our Responsible Pet Interaction Workshops
We start with a small introduction to the children about what to expect and the importance of the 5 freedoms regarding pet ownership.
We then break into smaller groups so that a couple of groups can complete colouring or work sheet activities. The remaining group has time to be shown how to hold the rabbits or guinea pigs, as well as care information about what each animal needs to stay happy and healthy.
You can invite us along to add an educational touch for schools, kinders and community groups or simply provide a fun and interactive environment for your children at a Private Party or Public Event.
What age group best suits Responsible Pet Interaction:
Primary School Education from Foundation to Year 6. But, the information & interaction can be enjoyed by all ages.
Primary school children will love the opportunity to get up close and personal with all our friendly animals! The program fits in perfectly with the school curriculum, and can be a great teaching aid. Allowing the children to be interactive helps to develop their interest in animals, and this can be translated well to the classroom.
Our responsable pet interaction is perfect for for students who are getting a class pet, or are just learning about responsibilities in relation to other living things
Our engaging approach to learning will ensure that it is a class to remember!
