Lights, Camera, Canines! Navigating the World of Animal Talent in Media

Dogs (and cats, birds, and other animals) are used in TV commercials, print advertising, TV shows and movies all the time. How do they do it? What sorts of skills or behaviors do talent agents look for? How do you even get started? And what can you expect if your pet lands a gig?

Join longtime TCOTC member Karen Radford for an informational presentation on how to prepare your dog and yourself for opportunities in the media. Karen has trained dogs that have been hired for a variety of jobs, including a full-length feature film, and will share what she has learned, including:

• Talent basics
• Portfolio creation
• What does the client want
• Auditioning
• You Got the Job! Now what?
• What’s next?

Attend in person at TCOTC or virtually over Zoom. The cost is $5 for members and $10 for non-members. Register online here or at the front desk.

And if you think your dog has star potential, sign up for an evaluation at Animal Talent Pool’s Casting Call Fundraiser for TCOTC on September 23. Admission is $10 for members and $15 for non-members. Learn more and sign up here.
