Service Description

We'll help get you ready! With over 600,000 animals employed each year, there is a constant demand for fresh faces, whether it be in a movie, a photoshoot for a local business, a billboard, newspaper ad, or commercial. This fun, skill-based experience introduces your dog to the world of animal acting—where calm behavior, responsiveness, and personality come together in a completely different way. As a certified animal actor evaluator, we help you understand what it actually takes for a dog to perform on cue, hold position under distraction, and remain composed in unfamiliar environments like sets, photo shoots, and public spaces. Whether your goal is to explore opportunities or simply enjoy something unique with your dog, this session builds real-world skills in a creative, engaging format. We work on: Holding positions for extended periods (for photos and filming) Reliable focus despite noise, movement, and distractions Directional cues and repeatable behaviors on command Confidence in new environments and with unfamiliar people Expressive, controlled movement (the difference between chaos and “camera-ready”) With hundreds of thousands of animals used across media each year—from local ads to major productions—there is ongoing demand for dogs that are steady, responsive, and easy to work with. Most importantly, this is a fun way to deepen your dog’s training while giving kids and families an exciting, hands-on experience that feels more like play than work. You may not leave with a movie deal—but you will leave with a dog that can act like they belong anywhere.
