At about the same time, he and his family spent their summer vacations in San Diego and would go to SeaWorld every year, and after a number of summers watching the trainers riding the killer whales, Silverman developed a fascination with the whales and trainers. At the age of 16, he got hired to pick up trash at SeaWorld, and after helping out the trainers and years of hard work, Silverman was hired as a trainer. He started off with Pacific and Atlantic bottle-nosed dolphins, California sea lions, and eventually killer whales.

Dog Training Style

Although there are a variety of styles and methods to train dogs, Joel Silverman's style is what he calls a "hybrid" dog training method. This method combines parts of dog training he learned from training dolphins, sea lions, and killer whales, as well as the training of dogs. Joel also adds a personality based dog training style called What Color is Your Dog?® This method teaches people that there is no "one size fits all" approach to dog training. He believes dogs should be trained based solely on their personalities. There are a huge percentage of dog trainers across the nation that train with this balanced dog training method, but there are also a small percentage of dog trainers that train using positive only training techniques that do not agree with Joel Silverman's style.
