Animal Wrangling for Feature Films & Advertising

'Agrade Animals' have been working with Major Directors for a number of years, three of these directors are profiled below. In these adverts, we were the animal wranglers/trainers and the animals were provided by Agrade Animals. We are very proud of these projects and enjoy doing this work. We believe we are among the best animal wranglers/trainers in New Zealand and have the skills and resources to handle both small and large projects.

Karen has a strong professional work ethic and only uses wranglers/trainers who she believes are capable of fulfilling the production companies brief. For further information please contact karen@agradeanimals.co.nz
