Training Dogs for Hollywood
When you were watching that movie last night, you may have seen a Blue or a Meliteo Kinidio or a Parson Russell Terrier or a vcharka. The question that you thought of is - ‘Is my Spinone ready to be in the movies?’ Ok, everyone tells you that your pet pooch is just the best dog they know of. That critter even can tell how and when to mug for camera shots, a regular scene steeler with a personality that would have given Lassie a good run for her money.
Ok, but he needs one more thing. If you really want your dog to be the next star canine in a real Hollywood movie or television series, your pooch can’t just like to be in front of a camera. Your dog is going to have to be well trained and know, not just the basics, but a few great tricks of the trade.
The majority of tricks that you see dogs doing on TV look so great because Hollywood has a way of putting the dog’s tricks to good use and making the shots work. They combine them as a series of tricks into a final production that works for a particular scene very well.
It’s the basic tricks that are going to land your dog a movie role. There are many training facilities that offer the workshops necessary to get your dog the skills that are needed by dog actors.
Nearly all of what dogs do on TV are fairly easy tricks. Most of the everyday tricks the dogs need to do are bow, roll over, find it, wave, touch the target, play dead, crawl, pray, sneeze, hide your eyes, speak on cue, back up and whimper.
Teaching your puppy all of the tricks might be the easy part of training for the movies. The tough one for lots of dogs to adapt themselves to is working with strangers all around and many distractions. Also, in most cases, your dog will need to follow the lead of the set’s dog trainer, not you. These are some daunting obstacles for some dogs to undertake.
If you have a dog that can not only learn all the tricks, but also the Hollywood basics of working with strangers on film sets without forgetting everything you taught her, you might just have a dog like Jean, the Vitagraph Dog that was the screen�s first leading canine.
Now… your dog is ready and able to go to the movies. What is your next step? The best thing to do is make a compelling portfolio for your dog. All the recent photos, his list of skills, training and hopefully some great videos of your dog doing some of his best tricks.
Many of the training schools for movie dogs will show you how to get your dog into the industry. Don’t forget there is a lot of ad work and commercial work for your aspiring mutt to shoot for also.
The final word - your dog would do anything for you (hopefully, the feeling is mutual). If your dog does not enjoy acting and does not want to be a Hollywood star, your dog will tell you about it. Watch your pal and keep things fun for her.
