Criteria for Submission into the Animal Actors Agency - 2006
DOGS
All adult dogs must have reliable basic obedience and the following behaviors
trained before admission.
- Sit/Stay
- Down/Stay
- Stand/Stay
- Recall
- Loose-leash walking or heel
- Crate-Trained
- Nice Manners - no agressive dogs please!
Please be honest in stating what behaviors your pet does reliably.
By reliably, we mean that your pet
performs the behavior everytime you ask and can perform these tasks in areas
other than your home.
"Offered" behaviors such as "my dog dances around on her hind
legs when I come home" do not count.
CATS
- Crate trained for traveling
- Can be held/handled by new people
- Exposure to different environments
We highly recommend clicker or buzzer training for cats to teach the basics such as sit/stays, down/stays and recalls.
OTHER

other than domestic dogs and cats at

PART THREE - PHOTOGRAPH
· It is very important that we always have recent photos of your pet because our clients study them frequently. They expect the pet coming to their studio to look exactly like the picture they chose. Therefore, it is extremely important to send clear and recent photos. Without pictures, we cannot promote your pet.
· We are sure you look wonderful with your pet but please the photograph should be of your pet only. Please send clear, high quality pictures (no Polaroid, high resolution if printing from computer) -neutral background-, one head to toes (standing in profile) and a close-up of your pet's head. Neutral background means no people, furniture or cars etc. Your pet must be the center of the picture. Please include photos of your pet performing a stand/stay, sit/stay and down/stay as well as photos of any other trained behaviors. Remember that a good photo can help land your pet a job! We will not accept any photos of pets in cluttered backgrounds or on beds/furniture lounging.
· PHOTOS NOT ACCEPTABLE: Fuzzy, out of focus, low resolution or digital photo prints on plain paper. We DO accept photos on CD as long as they fit the requirements listed above.
