One of the most interesting animal trainers I’ve come across is Dove Cresswell. Why? Because she trains dogs and other animals for films and television. Some of the films she’s worked on include Space Buddies, The X Files: I Want to Believe, Cats and Dogs 2, Saved! and Sam’s Lake. She’s also worked on the TV programs Romeo, Behind the Camera: Charlie’s Angels, and Cougar Crossings.

She hasn’t just trained dogs but also large reptiles, cougars, rodents, birds, cockroaches and deer. She’s trained all kinds of dog breeds and all sizes. She can train dogs up to Master’s level in the Agility sport. For a twenty-five year old, I think that’s pretty outstanding.

Her first foray into dog training was with her own labrador pup which she took for dog obedience classes. Then, in her back yard, she spent hours teaching tricks and coaching her dog through an obstacle course.

She volunteered at the {Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals|SPCA}. At 16 she started volunteering at an animal hospital and by 17 she was a paid member of staff there.

At university she got a BA in Science-Biology. She began working in films with a docu-drama called Cougar Crossings where she proved her ability with young cougars.

Currently, she volunteers with That’ll Do Border Collie Rescue. She has three dogs of her own – a Border Collie, an Australian Shepherd, and a mini Poodle x.

If you’re concerned that animals {are mistreated|don’t enjoy their time} on film sets, Dove lets us know that they do enjoy making films and that there’s lots of fun in between takes! In USA , all animal trainers in films are observed by the American Humane Association.

If you want to get your dog into films, your dog has to be very well trained. Dove looks for dogs competing in Agility or Obedience.

Dove has studied with several top dog trainers and taken the most useful methods out of all of them. Based upon her experience and study she produced her own training course for dogs. It uses the very same methods she uses to train animals for their film roles. You can be sure her methods are highly effective because you have to produce the goods on a film set.
