Join photographer and host of of the Empathetic Trainer Podcast, Barbara O'Brien as she spins mostly true tales from her many years as an animal actor trainer. This episode, A TIGER'S TALE is about a wayward tiger and what happens when he doesn't follow the script.

Do you remember the first time you bit off more than you could chew? When your overconfidence landed you in a pickle that you weren’t prepared for? Well, that's exactly what happened to me when I made the rookie mistake of booking a Siberian tiger for a high-end department store’s furniture shoot in my early days of running an animal actors agency. Picture this: a majestic tiger, a pristine white leather furniture set, and a terrified crew and clients looking to me for a solution as chaos ensues.

Curious about what happened next? This episode offers a sneak peek into the unpredictable, often hilarious world of working with animal actors. So, buckle up and join me, Barbara O'Brien, as I narrate the first of many such Tales from the Set!

Editors note - I do not and never owned a tiger or any other exotic animal.
