Thanks to Rory the shoot went very well. Meg was a real star. Nathan


"Hi Nathan...despite the weather we had a wonderful day. Absolutely everything went right. Lovely dog (Meg....how come 99% of sheepdogs are called Meg). She did everything required of her. Should make a cracking little commercial. Cheers Vic" Production

OUR DAY OUT - PRESS NIGHT

The press night for "Our day out" was a great success. The musical achieved great reviews, with mention of the animals :

" I had read the play a number of years back and remember reading the directors notes about using stuffed toys as the zoo animals, so when the kids turned around and actually had REAL animals in their hands, both I, and the rest of the audience gasped in surprise! Thankfully they didn’t let go of the snakes though!! "

Safe Style UK

Ziggy the border terrier performed very well on the new safestyle Uk commercial. He is seen to be barking at the main actor, then chasing him. The shot involved chasing, jumping through windows and then jumping. The dog performed very well, thanks to his two handlers Dave and Helen. Helen is a very experienced dog agility trainer, who works with the Animal Company, Dave is experienced at showing dogs in Crufts.

Film Festival

Latitude is one of the most popular festivals in the country, this year we supplied animals for the launch of a new film called "black cat, white cat" The animals we supplied included Two ponies, chickens and geese. The animals worked so well, attracting attention to the premier and drawing a real crowd. Steve Acton (Animal Handler) got involved, by dancing with the actors on stage, priceless :)
