Hollywood Paws Training Tip: There is ALWAYS more to do!

You can always do more with a behavior! Once you have the initial behavior, you can always raise the bar on that behavior. The more you train for distance and distractions, the more prepared your pet will be for any production work that comes his or her way!

If you dog is used to you training a distance of the minimum 15 feet required on-set, then try for 25 feet or even 40 feet! Hollywood Paws trains for distance starting in our Foundation of Animal Acting program and by the end of this program dogs should be able to work most basic behaviors are the minimum distance of 15 feet. Bubba (pictured above with Hollywood Paws Studio Trainer Joel) had to work at a distance of 30 feet while working on the movie 'Chihuahua 2'!

Just because your dog can perform the behavior every time at home, does not mean that your dog will be able to perform that same behavior during a busy Saturday at the Santa Monica Pier or on the Venice Beach Boardwalk.

Its almost Spring, and with such great weather outside you can turn a training session into a fun day out with your family, friends, and of course... your pet!
