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 animals to understand what we are asking of them. This is true for film work and private training, as it facilitates stronger, more effective communication and overall relationships with the animals.
THE BACK STORY
I have 20 years of experience training animals for film and private clients and have had the privilege of working with everything from elephants and rhinos, to bears, big cats, and wolves. I started my career in Hollywood and eventually made my way around the globe. I currently hold an Associate's degree in animal behavior, a Bachelor's in human psychology, and am currently pursuing a Master's degree in clinical mental health.
THE PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy is rooted in the concepts of behavioral conditioning for both you, as the human, and your animal. My private training program promotes a balanced conversation with clear expectations, while incrementally challenging the status quo to achieve long-lasting, maintainable results.
READY AND..... ACTION
I have a network of people and animals across the country to provide services for your next film production, party, or event.
Please contact me for any inquires, or if you are interested in utilizing your animals or pets for future projects.
