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.

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?®)
Joel continues to train animals, write, and appear in public speaking venues.

Understanding your dog’s rituals gives dog owners the advantage of understanding your dog – particularly because each dog has its own natural behavior. Rituals emphasizes the importance of taking the time to recognize your dog’s need for “the game.”
Joel Silverman demonstrates how the natural behavior a dog plays out now has the ability to escalate over time. The escalation of the behavior can both be a good thing or bad thing. Either way, that behavior becomes a Ritual.
