Hollywood dog trainer Joel Silverman hosts this 2 1/2 day course which is marketed towards professional animal trainers looking to expand their dog training business into the motion picture and television world. We will not be offering this course in the Los Angeles or Atlanta markets as they do not want to create competition with their fellow movie animal trainers and suppliers in those markets. We dedicate 95% of time to practical dog training.
Joel Silverman has over 40 years of experience as a motion picture and TV animal trainer. Joel also has an extensive amount of experience as a director as well. Joel directed two seasons (52 episodes) of his What Color is Your Dog? TV series, as well as all of his TV and video production over his career. We will work with your dog and you individually and teach the advanced behaviors you want to teach.
- How to take your dog to a higher level of dog training, specifically for film and television
- How to create distance and control with your dog
- How to raise dogs on the set
- Set etiquette (how to handle yourself on a film set, as it can often be intimidating)
- Some of the behaviors: Play dead, straigten up, head up, head down, crawl, sit up, retrieve, "out" behavior, "easy"
