Ever dream of adopting a dog AND becoming a TV star? Here’s your opportunity.

Joel Silverman, a Hollywood animal trainer, is issuing a casting call for the second season of Dog & Cat Training with Joel Silverman. Silverman is seeking several local animal lovers who would like to adopt a dog from Nevada Humane Society on camera. Adopters will have the benefit of Silverman’s expert advice in selecting a dog that will be an ideal fit for their personality and lifestyle.

Casting for these roles will require a series of interviews this month with taping planned to begin in March. If you are interested in vying for a spot on Dog & Cat Training with Joel Silverman, contact Joel directly at 661-713-8832 or info@companionsforlife.net.

“Animals from shelters make some of the very best pets,” said Silverman. “I believe that they know that we are doing something for them when we adopt them. As a movie trainer, I can tell you that every mixed-breed pet you see on television came from an animal shelter. Even many of the purebred dogs you see come from shelters or breed rescue groups.”

Silverman’s show airs every Saturday morning at 7:30 am on the CW Reno/My 21 TV in Reno. 

Silverman has 30 years of experience training animals for television, movies and commercials. He is also the author of two books: What Color is Your Dog and Take 2: Training Solutions for Rescued Dogs. A third book is in progress.
