We
are called trainers but actually we are teachers, acting coaches,
translators, safety consultants, and sometimes even hairstylists
and make-up artists.
Our knowledge of the animals, the set, and our willingness to
work cooperatively with other departments will assist the director
in getting a quality performance.
Our trainers love the challenge of discovering a way to convey
the script's action to the animal actor.
The
highlights of our day are the "Light Bulb Moment" , when the animal
pupil and teacher share the excitement of learning a new behavior.
Our Animals learn how to learn and love the process and stimulation
involved in becoming confident actors. We use positive reinforcement
and teach our animals with toys, food and Lots of Praise!
Our Trainers are professionals and work thoughtfully, diligently
and safely throughout all aspects of production.
