When you were watching that movie last night, you may have seen a Border Terrier or a Standard or a nuit dog or a Podenco Galego. The question that you thought of is - 'Is my Bracco Italiano ready to be in the movies?' Ok, your groomer says your favorite dog is just the most talented dog they can imagine. That critter even has figured out how and when to mug for the camera, a regular scene steeler with a personality that would have given Lassie a good run for her money.

Ok, but you have to consider this. In order for your dog to be the future best canine in a real Hollywood television series, your pooch can't just look adorable and like to be in front of a camera. 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 the big screen look so great because Hollywood has a way of putting the dog's tricks in the best light 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 impress the casting ...
... director. There are companies throughout the country that offer the classes needed to get your puppy the tricks and obedience that are required by dog actors.

Nearly everything that dogs do in the movies are simple tricks. Most of the tricks the dogs need to do are bow, touch the target, find it, play dead, pray, wave, hide your eyes, back up, roll over, sneeze, turn out the light, speak on cue and whine.

Learning all of the tricks might be the simple part of getting ready for the movies. The difficult one for many dogs to adapt themselves to is working surrounded by many strangers and many distractions. Also, in most cases, your dog will be under the general control of the set's dog trainer, not you. These are some daunting obstacles for some dogs and their owners.

If you can teach your dog 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 "Bullet the Wonder Dog," from "The Roy Rogers Show".

Alright, so your pooch is trained and ready to act in the movies. What now? The most important step is to put together a compelling portfolio for your dog. All the recent photos, his list of skills and 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 huge amount of commercials and advertising for your aspiring mutt to shoot for also.

Now for the very last detail. 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 Hollywood star, your dog will make it obvious. Watch your pal and make sure she is having fun - it will show.
