Hollywood Paws cats wrap filming a TV pilot in a cat sized apartment!

Hollywood Paws just finished filming of a new television pilot called Mr. Dingleberry this past Monday! 3 Hollywood Paws cats were used in the filming of the pilot and all 3 cat owners and Hollywood Paws students helped to train their cats on the set. The pilot uses cats as the main characters and the set is entirely cat sized (check out the photos below if you don’t believe us…)

Hollywood Paws cat Ichi is the main cat, Mr. Dingleberry in the pilot and his co-stars are Hollywood Paws cats Missy and Cocoa. All 3 cats are graduates of the Hollywood Paws Feline Animal Acting program where they have mastered behaviors such as “mark”, down, sit, paw, wave, and target training. Keep your eyes peeled for this new show that should be premiering on a television near you very soon!

5 Hollywood Paws dogs audition for the lead in an upcoming film!

Hollywood Paws dogs Brutus, Jammer, Patron, Machella Bella, and Casey all auditioned today for the lead dog role in an independent film that starts filming next month. The type of dog needed was an agressive looking dog such as a german shepherd or pit bull and they needed to be able to perform a varity of advanced behaviors. In the casting the dogs needed to play dead while on their side, speak, and be able to have a rubber band around their nose to simulate a growl and snarl.

Brutus and Jammer are 2 German Shepherds that are owned by the same owner. Both are graduates of the Hollywood Paws levels I, II, and III programs and have also been doubles for each other as the leads in a pilot television series called "Passenger."





Patron is a blue nose pit bull who joined Hollywood Paws when he was just a puppy. He is a Hollywood Paws levels I, II, and III graduate and has been submitted to multiple jobs prior to this casting.



Michaella Bella  was one of the first to complete the Hollywood Paws levels I, II, and III programs and has been with Hollywood Paws for over 3 years! He was also the main dog who starred in his own segment on Animal Planet's "Weird, True, and Freaky" television show.



Casey is the newest addition to Hollywood Paws and started Hollywood Paws level I program only 1 month ago! Hollywood Paws trainers had to have casey come in for extra training sessions to make sure he was prepared for this casting... and he did a great job!



Stay tuned to find out which dogs gets the lead part! Hollywood Paws should know by next Friday!
