Animal trainers use effective methods to reliably elicit desired behaviors from dogs, horses, marine mammals, and other animals. Work environment and pressure may vary depending on whether animals are being trained for obedience, assisting people with disabilities, performing on stage or film, riding, or show. Working with animals can be dangerous and unpredictable. May work indoors and outdoors.
