Our Trainers

The Trainers

Our people are passionate about animals and filming with animals. We all want to achieve the very best result for the production and ensure the best experience for the animals.

Chris Brown

Owner, Head Trainer & Lead Zoophilist

Chris grew up alongside wild creatures literally in the house, including chimpanzees, lions, tigers, wolves and bears. An unusual start but one that meant being on set with animals was just a normal day.  Running Tooth n Claw for many years now, Chris has been the leading Animal Consultant on hundreds of shoots where the animal action is crucial to the scene or the entire project.   Loves to see new scripts come to life and puts his knowledge of filming and animals to work for you.
