You are so lucky to work with different animals. I'm sure it was a lot of work too!! If you are in the move industry, I must've seen your movies then. I see a lot of animal movies!!
Coincidentally, I just talked to them about a job last night. Small world.
Unless you never see movies, TV or commercials, you've seen my work. I've done a few posts over the years. Rhino, bees, vulture, giraffe. Here's one that just started airing:
Cute. Was the dog really wearing those booties, or was that photo shopped?
She really wore them. We put regular dog booties on her and then put the elf booties over that. She got used to it very quickly and they didn't bother her in the slightest. Much of those running shots were actually done on a green screen treadmill.
There are several more commercials like that on the way.
Tom, nice work with the T-Rex on wheels towards the end!
Reason I asked was you always see dogs lifting their feet up real high when they have socks or whatever on them. So the Target dog is a member of your "ensemble",huh? We haven't seen any references lately to things the Malinois have been doing. I know one has retired, but his son is still active, right?
LOL!!!!
Bulllet is the old retired man. Best dog that ever lived.
Momma and son are still active and working regularly. Seven (the son) did a recent episode of "Castle". Don't know if it aired yet or not. We did an Acura commercial over the weekend. He was the back up dog for his littermate brother in "Divergent", which we filmed in Chicago last year. We do a lot of little low budget movies too, since my dogs already do everything, and low budget movies have no money for training time.
What a fun job but I think you still have a fair share of frustration when those special actor don't cooperate.
Most actors are pretty cooperative. They have to be. They are especially attentive, friendly and cooperative when we are doing aggression work.
No one gets hurt right?? aggression work......Most actors are pretty cooperative. They have to be. They are especially attentive, friendly and cooperative when we are doing aggression work.
Steven: I know it's pretty scarey when a big dog is snarling and growling at you, but Tom's dogs are just doing a "trick" like sitting up, or whatever. They can turn it on and off on command.
Tom: Won't you please put up that picture again of Bullet sitting on the tail gate with your daughter and he's in attack mode?

He is a dog trainer.....I have no concern when he work with dog. But other actors like bear, monkey, rabbits, etc...
These were a couple of child actors on a movie I did in DesMoines. I couldn't get them to stop smiling. Their parents took this pic.
Even though I knew Tom had complete control, when they were here one time visiting, and Bullet was sitting on his "mark", and Tom gave the command that you see in the picture above, it really intimidated me. I had wanted to pet him and love on him (the dog), but after that little toothy show, I sat back in my chair and left the dog alone.
