Our Story

Elaina Franklin is the owner/trainer for Positive Solutions Animal Training and the former Supervisor of Animal Training from Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Elaina is originally from Maryland where she started training animals in 2003 while working under a mentorship program at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, learning the training philosophies of Karen Pyror and Ken Rameriz. During this time she was also working on earning Bachelors of Science degrees in both Animal Behavior and Biology from Towson University. From there she has gained a wealth of experience in the field of animal behavior from working at places such as dog training facilities, aquariums, kennels, and veterinary hospitals. Her experiences were not only limited to domestic animals such as dogs and cats, but also involved doing marine rescue work with dolphins, seals, and sea turtles and husbandry work with sharks, rainforest birds, monkeys, and sloths. She achieved her ultimate goal when she was hired by Clearwater Marine Aquarium where she worked many years as the Supervisor of Animal Training. Elaina even took on the role of training the dolphins for the Warner Bros hit movie Dolphin Tale. This amazing opportunity led her to becoming a member of the Screen Actor’s Guild with the title of “Animal Trainer” in 2010. With over 17 years experience and such a diverse background, Elaina’s focus is behavior modification with aggressive, fearful, or anxious animals to help give them a second lease on life.

Elaina trains animals using science based methods with a focus on the principles of positive reinforcement. She works with both domestic and exotic animals and has the ability to shape behaviors using operant conditioning and/or changes behaviors using desensitization and counter-conditioning. She has trained everything from dolphins, dogs, otters, cats, nurse sharks, and even a guinea pig too, and feels that all animals can be and should be trained using science based methods with a focus on positive reinforcement!

If you have a problem with your domestic or exotic pet/animal give Elaina a call…she will have a solution!
