When you were watching that movie last night, you may have seen a Bergamasco or a Pastor Garafiano or a Cão da Serra da Estrela. Now, the question in the back of your mind is - 'Is my Qimmiq ready to be in the movies?' Ok, everyone has said that your dog is just the most talented dog they know of. This dog even can tell how and when to mug for a picture, a regular scene steeler with a personality that would have given Lassie a good run for her money.
Ok, but she needs one more thing. If you really want your dog to be the future best canine in a real Hollywood television series, your pooch can't just look cute and like cameras. Your dog will have to be well trained and know, not just the basics, but a few great tricks for the tryouts.
Most of the scenes 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 companies all over that offer the workshops needed to get your puppy the tricks and obedience that are needed by canine actors.
Almost all of what dogs do on TV are simple tricks. Most of the common tricks the dogs need to do on demand are bow, roll over, back up, turn out the light, sneeze, wave, play dead, crawl, speak on cue, pray, hide your eyes, find it and whimper.
Having your dog learn all of the skills might be the simple part of what is needed for the movies. The tough one for lots of dogs is working on a set with strangers all around and a lot of 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 overcome.
If your dog can 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 D.J., a Siberian Husky who played the roles of Demon in Snow Dogs and Max in Eight Below.
Now... your puppy is ready and able to go to the movies. What do you do now? The most important step is to create a compelling portfolio for your dog. All the current photos, his list of tricks, 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 tremendous volume of advertising for your aspiring mongrel to shoot for also.
The final word - your dog adores you (hopefully, the feeling is mutual). If your dog does not have fun with the Hollywood thing and does not want to be a television star, your dog will tell you about it. Watch your pal and make sure she is having fun - it will show.
