Joel Silverman turned a childhood dream into a lifelong career of training and performing with the animals he loves so much. From his early days in the 70's and 80's, Joel found himself working in nearly every theme park in Southern California. Whether he was training killer whales at Sea World, dolphins at Knott's Berry Farm and Magic Mountain, or birds, dogs, and cats at Universal Studios, Joel adapted the techniques he developed to launch a successful career in training animals to star in live shows, Hollywood films, television programs and commercials.

For over 25 years Joel has worked behind the scenes training animals for movies, TV shows, and commercials. For the past 10 years, Joel has been closely involved, and has been responsible for coordinating and training of the cats and dogs in most of the IAMS national commercials and print ads.

As a host of the popular television series Good Dog U on Animal Planet, for nearly 10 years, Joel has had the opportunity to showcase his unique ability to relate to and problem-solve behavior issues with a wide variety of dog breeds and owners.

Joel will be signing his new book, What Color is your Dog?

Appearing on national programs such as Live, With Regis and Kathie Lee, CNN, MSNBC and FOX News, along with hundreds of local morning news programs, Joel has offered advice on pet care and training based on his lifetime commitment to the welfare of animals and their special place in our lives. His efforts on behalf of animal rescue and welfare organizations are well known and Joel’s personal and professional priority.

Over the past 20 years Joel has sold over 300,000 dog training videos that always have focused on his own style and method.
