This episode features Elaine Reiter of Wildside Unlimited in San Diego, California. Elaine is an animal trainer and has an extensive background with training all manner of animals, including marine mammals. Beginning her career at the Miami Seaquarium in the late '80's, Elaine still works with marine mammals today, but her true passion is working with dogs. Her company offers dog training, pet sitting, and nutritional consulting, but also, and most relevant to today's topic, Elaine's company is an agency for animal actors. Today she talks about what it's like to work with animals on set and what a day in the life of a canine actor is like, and shares many other fascinating insights that she has gained during her illustrious career thus far. You won't want to miss this fun episode!
