Luke Hura is renowned as one of Australia’s leading Animal Film Trainers. His incredible career began over 35 years ago and throughout his journey, has worked on some of Australia’s most well-known Films and Television Shows.

Luke’s love for animals began at a very early age where he began to connect with them energetically and intuitively, with this ability allowing him to read and recognise their behaviours and thus he began to work with the animals on a more intimate level. This incredible gift steered him in the direction of training all types of animals for Film, Television and Live Stage Shows such as dogs, cats and birds just to name a few.

Luke is very well respected in the industry and is an obvious choice for any Producer to have as part of the film team. Some of Lukes career highlights include – Red Dog & Oddball being the highest grossing Australian Dog Films, Paws, Ned Kelly, Rogue, Neighbours, Blue Heelers, Rove Live, The Flying Doctors, Dingo, A Country Practice, Thunderstone, Halifax f.p, Sea Change, The Saddle Club, Kath & Kim, Rush and McClouds Daughters.
At present he is working on the highly regarded stage production Wizard of Oz that is currently playing throughout Australia, where his responsibilities include training and preparing Toto on a daily basis for the live shows, where there are no retaking of scenes! This reinforces Luke’s reputation in the entertainment & film industry.
