Joel Silverman

For over thirty-five years, Joel Silverman has worked as a professional animal trainer, training a variety of animal species. He started off working with killer whales and dolphins then progressed from there to his extensive work with dogs. Joel’s experience includes performing with and training animals in nearly every major theme park in Southern California. Using this extensive expertise, Joel has created a “hybrid” approach dog training technique, which uses a combination of ideas and philosophies learned from both dogs and marine mammals alike. Joel’s passion is teaching this method. Evidence that his methods work: he has successfully sold over 500,000 dog training DVDs, authored four books, and hosted two nationally syndicated TV series (Animal Planet’s Good Dog U and What Color is Your Dog?®)
