BIO:
Olate Dogs is a high energy, fast paced dog act filled with impressive tricks led by Richard Olate, 55, and his son, Nicholas Olate,19. A true example that you can come from nothing and accomplish wonderful things with hard work, Richard grew up in South America as part of a poor family, often going several days without food. A third generation circus performer, Richard has performed since he was 12 and through hard work and constant struggle, made it to the USA at the age of 33. His dream is to have his own dog variety show, and he currently has four completely different dog acts, all trained by Richard with many of the dogs from shelters, ready for the stage. While they currently reside in Orlando, Florida their real home is on a tour bus, traveling across the country with their animals. An incredible trainer with 40 plus years experience, Richard and his son join the show’s Top 48 contestants to compete for a $1 million dollar prize.
