Training
Boone Narr has been credited as an animal trainer, wrangler and supplier for a number of films and television programmes.
Animals trained at Boone's Animals for Hollywood have also been featured in many other television series, including CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Ugly Betty and Criminal Minds.
Boone's Animals for Hollywood has also trained and supplied animals for a number of television commercials, including such brands as Budweiser, Disneyland, Walmart, John Deere, McDonald's, Cisco Systems, FedEx, Hewlett-Packard and American Express, among others.
It was reported in the Los Angeles Times that on the set of Narr's first film Any Which Way You Can, Clint Eastwood's sidekick orangutan "Clyde" (originally named "Buddha") was "trained with a can of mace and a pipe wrapped in newspaper."[4] The orangutan was beaten throughout filming, and sometime toward the completion of the film, Clyde was punished for having stolen doughnuts from the set. He was beaten for 20 minutes with a three-and-a-half foot ax handle and died later of a cerebral hemorrhage.[5]
