For all young wild animal trainers. Try different things and adapt to the enviornment.

In the past I have discussed the "adaptability" of the greats like Charly Baumann and GGW. Above is a picture of Boss with his tigers laying down facing the chute/cages, and two of the greatest assistants, Henry Shroder and Werner Edling. any trainer could have in the "European style". In Europe the direction he is facing is front, but in a coliseum the front is on his left, back is on his right. The above photo is from 1981. The photo below in 1992 is how he changed the position of the lay down/sit up, so that it faced what in America is the front. That's what made the Greats great. The didn't stay with a "traditional" formula, and that's how things change and get better. Casey you will note the "arc" that I have discussed with you in the past.
