Timothy Roberts runs a training school for people who want to work with wild, exotic and endangered animals. He’s the most famous animal trainer in Hollywood and has thirty years’ experience.

Timothy’s students usually begin with a one-day seminar at his California ranch. Here the animals feel safe and are really well cared for. At the seminar, students learn some of the tricks of the film business. Timothy demonstrates how to get a Bengal tiger to pretend to be angry for films like “Jungle Book” and how to work with grizzly bear cubs so that they are gentle and calm. Then they get to give them their milk bottles. Students even bathe the elephants!

On longer courses the trainees learn animal management, handling and training techniques, as well as veterinary care. Lectures also include topics such as safety, physiology and animal psychology. Students use what they learn in these lectures when they are working with the animals themselves. It’s a fantastic opportunity to work with endangered and exotic species like leopards, monkeys, elephants, lions, birds of prey, wolves and many more. Can you imagine yourself walking a tiger or shaking hands with a huge bear?

At the end of their course, many students choose to join Timothy’s volunteer programme. They spend every day with the creatures to build a strong bond with them. It’s the best way to become a confident and skilful animal handler, and it leads to great career opportunities in the animal industry.

So, do you think you’ve got what it takes to be a trainer? Do you love animals? That’s the most important thing, and the key to Timothy’s success. He adores all animals. Do you feel that way too? If so, contact Timothy on www.animalschool.com to enroll on your first course. The next one-day seminar is on Saturday 21^st October.
