Public Engagement
Group Classes
Our online or in person group classes are for large groups of people who are interested in learning similar topics or behaviors. Group classes offers valuable rates for organization’s employee or volunteer training, friends/family who want to learn more about behavior and training, or scheduled events for the public. Fluff and Feathers offers group rates for large organizations and groups.
Nonprofit Discounting
Fluff and Feathers mission statements have nonprofits in mind. We are here to aid you in the ways we can to be able to best take care of your animals. We do have discounts available for all rescue work. Extra documents are required to prove legitimacy.
Online and In-Person
Group classes can be offered in person on location or online. Fluff and Feathers always wants sessions to be as successful as possible for caretakers and their animals; therefore we ask for group classes where animals are involved to meet where the animal is most comfortable and less stressed. This is either at your facility or at your house.
Online group classes are operated through ZOOM video call services. This allows for screen sharing to show any media or presentations, as well as video to show any live demonstrations needed from the trainer or caretakers. Also, when done online, group classes are recorded and each attendee gets a recording of the session to be able to have and playback at anytime to reference the materials.
Customized Topics
Do you have a topic already in mind? We would love to speak on the topics you would like your audience to learn more about! Education will be comprised from published scholarly, peer reviewed resources to ensure accuracy and the most up-to-date information, as well we our antidotal evidence through the years of professional work we have with a variety of species.
Don’t Have a Topic in Mind?
Don’t worry! We have a plethora of topics and ideas that you can choose from. We present to you our most diverse and successful presentations to cover a wide umbrella of information to choose from. Topic ideas come from our clients and the trends we see within all of them of what topics need more educating than others.
Online and In-Person Meetings
No matter if your event is online or in person, we are available to speak at your event. Due to the current climate, in person events will need to be screened for if it is safe to attend in person.

Individual Customization
Group classes are customized on topics and behaviors attendees want to hear about. We take into account the specific animals each individual is working with and their behaviors to be able to customize a group event to benefit everyone.
Scheduled Group Classes
Fluff and Feathers offers group classes both online and in-person on selected topics throughout the year available for anyone to sign up for at group discount. These classes go more over generalized topics and sticks to the basics, rather than customizing it for each individual in the group and their animal’s needs.
These group classes are about a hour long with a 30 minute question and answer at the end where you can take the knowledge you learned, interpret it to your current situation, and ask any more personalized questions for further clarification. Each attendee will also get a recording of the group class, not including the question and answer part, in its entirety at the end of the session to be able to reference indefinitely.
