Reno, will be a canine carnival of fun. The fact that Joel Silverman will be
there will just add to the experience and allow for education for you and your
dog!
METHOD
Joel’s uses what he calls a ‘hybrid” style to teach dogs. He uses much of what
he learned as a marine mammal trainer, and much of what he has learned through
his career as a Hollywood Dog Trainer. This style is based on two things:
- Building
a great relationship with your dog PRIOR to training
- Understanding
that all dogs are different; What works for one may not work for another
- As
a motion picture and TV dog trainer, Joel had no choice other than to
teach dogs to understand control and distance. Distance is key.
BOOKS
Joel has authored three books:
- “What
Color is Your Dog?” (2009)
- “Take
2 – Training Solutions for Rescued Dogs” (2010)
- “Bond
With Your Heart; Train With Your Brain” (Winter/2012)
In 2012, Joel
came out with his new nationally syndicated TV series, “DOG & CAT
TRAINING WITH JOEL SILVERMAN,” which airs every
Saturday morning at 7:30 am on
the CW Reno/My 21 TV in Reno.
Currently Joel
lives in Reno, Nevada.
