Movies, TV, Advertising, Calendars

I thought this section would be fun to include but I do not train my dogs for the media nor do I have any connections in this regard.  I’ve had referrals from friends and from professional Studio animal Wranglers when they are looking for a particular dog.  Most studio trainers have their own stable and will use those dogs because they know what they can do.  But when I do get calls, I like to make sure my dogs are ready.  The TV show “Too Cute” only required a litter of puppies and they didn’t need to be trained.

Training for TV and Movies

For film and print you have to have a good stay and a lot of expression from the dog.  Again here I was lucky because I’ve known some amazing photographers.  I was lucky enough to have an office at Sony Pictures next to Seth Casteel when he was starting his career in photography and he took a lot of amazing photos of my dogs that made the cover of magazines and calendars.  He went on to have the NY TImes best selling book “Under Water Dogs”  http://www.sethcasteel.com/#!/home.
