Pets on Screen (w/ Joel Silverman)

This week we interview Hollywood dog trainer of over 30 years, Joel Silverman. We discuss his history training pets for TV and film, some behind the scenes stories, why film animals need to be desensitized to populated areas like soundstages, why distance training is important, how to prepare your pet before putting them in front of casting directors, and what you can expect on set if you plan to get your pet into on-screen work.

Plus, we talk about the phenomenon of bulldogs who know how to skateboard.

And as always we answer questions from The Pet Collective audience!
