ANDREA GOLD

THE METHOD
I love this name for the business because, to be a method actor, one has to truly embody all the subtle characteristics of a role. You have to understand the 'why' behind the action, and that is exactly how I teach owners to build stronger, more effective relationships with their dogs.
THE BACK STORY
I have 20 years of experience training animals for film and private clients and have had the privilege of working with all kinds of animals, from elephants and rhinos to bears, big cats, and wolves. I started my career in Hollywood and eventually made my way around the globe. While I currently hold degrees in animal behavior and human psychology, I am pursuing a Master's degree in clinical mental health with a focus on trauma recovery and crisis intervention.
THE PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy is rooted in the concepts of behavioral conditioning for both you, as the human, and your dog. My private training program promotes a balanced conversation with clear expectations, while incrementally challenging the status quo to achieve long-lasting, maintainable results.
THE FILMWORK
I have a network of people and animals across the country to provide services for productions, parties, and events. Please contact me for any inquires.
