» My day as animal-trainer

Programme outline:

Training and rehearsals with the actors

Memory pictures in show- costume

Drinks and snacks

We offer:

The animal trainers of the productions: “Rennschwein Rudi Rüssel, Tycoon Moon, Cobra 11,
Verstehen Sie Spass, Versteckte Kamera, Circus Circus, etc.

Show you how animals are trained and prepared for various show- and TV- productions.

If you would ever like to be a circus-princess having a real Andalusian

stallion, dancing at your command in the arena, or like to learn how to make a house-cat jump through a hoop or if you’d like to gallop like a Mongol on a camel

Or maybe you just like to watch how various animals are trained to act on a stage or in front of a camera, then a day at a “Film Animal farm” is just the right thing.

But first you will get acquainted with the particular animal, learn how they are cared for and what has to be considered by the different characters of the animals. Through walking the animals, stroking and caressing and giving snacks, confidence between you and the animal will be built up. After that, the animals will be saddled or unharnessed and the necessary requisites prepared.

In the following training units you will get first impressions on longing, tact and leading, voice and signal commands.

During the well-earned break for animal and man, films about past Shows are presented, where acts are explained and questions answered, all this surrounded by all kinds of animals and while enjoying a good drink and a nice snack.

Well-strengthened you will enter the next stage of training where you will be in the centre. You will be shown for instance how to get a horse in doing a Spanish pace or present an elegant “Levade”. If you and your partner would like to show a “Pas de deux”, it is possible to do this on thoroughbred horses in the Black & White show or on camel in the Mongolian show.

If these animals are maybe a bit too “big” for a beginner and you feel more attracted to the smaller house-animals, pet-tricks teaching for dogs and cats is at hand.

On request, costume outfits can be supplied by the “Costume fundus” to make a perfect show picture.

With so much animal action, one easily could start sweating, so obviously all drinks are inclusive that day.
