Enjoy some of these fun spots we've worked on!
Our little trained song bird “Billy” costarred with George Clooney in this fantastic Kiren Beer commercial. I think this may be one of my favorites!
Yoplait hired us to train these adorable chipmunks for their GoGurt campaign-other than the CGI ‘thumbs up’ everything you see this cutiepie do was trained specifically for the spot!
Spike Jones directed this Nissan Frontier commercial that we trained our fabulous border collies to push this recliner with a man in it all over downtown LA. Really a fun and exciting spot to have worked on!
Our trained owl “Archie” steals the show in this WGU spot that really highlights how beautiful an owl is, up close and in flight.
We ‘flew’ to Chicago to film a couple of wonderful spots with our team of trained cardinals for Nipsco Energy. This was my favorite one
Out of over 2 dozen Scottie dogs-Angus was chosen to star in this classic commercial for the California lottery- and training this dog was an absolute pleasure. There is no question this dog stole the spotlight. Hard to believe, but there are no special effects in it, other than color enhancement!
Yoplait hired us to train 24 prairie dogs for this Fantastic Gogurt commercial-and these little guys absolutely loved being trained. Shot over just 3 days, these guys gave a real comic flavor to this campaign.
Training sparrows is not easy! Especially training them to ‘play dead’. But this team of English sparrows (all playing one bird) nailed it. A truly great concept for how magical music is
A crew of 7 worked for 2 weeks in Los Angeles, training 25 birds and then 3 of us traveled to The tree of Life in New Orleans, for this beautiful AirBNB spot. Featuring a vast assortment of birds including thrushes, rollers, sparrows, blue jays, starling, parrots and crows.
This is my fantastic blue and gold macaw Ranger, starring in this very clever spot for a doggy day care center, trying to convince his owner he is a dog so he can go Happy Trails Doggy day care.
This HILARIOUS short features the incredibly trained dogs Lucy, with the fabulous Bitsie, Dash, Emmett and the one and only Zack acting in an adorable skit for The Voice
Zack the dog (featured in this Panasonic commercial) started his impressive career as just a puppy growing up and performing on the Young and the Restless for many years and followed up by appearing in countless TV shows, print and commercials.
Trained giraffe, zebra and a llama for this hilarious Lyft commercial shot practically on a frwy in Los Angeles!

This delightful spot featuring trained sparrow birds for Sara Lee Coffee cake is adorable
This was a super fun spot we worked on for Chewy with the absolutely fantastic “Linus” cat team with Andie (lead) and Kelli as my trainers for this one. Turned out fantastic, didn’t it?
Nick Kroll & John Mulaney interviewing our trained dogs for the Film Independent Spirit Awards
How about 15 trained crows-and one of them that steals biscuits off the dining room table-for a Reliant commercial
We trained woodpeckers for this fantastic 1992 Infiniti J30 commercial with Michael Douglas as the commentator. Extremely proud of this spot (from 1992). As far as I know- I have been the only person to supply and train woodpeckers.
This Residence Inn spot with penguins we provided and trained for Marriot is part of a small series featuring some really cool animals-and I think this one is the most adorable of them all…because…do you have any idea how fun it is to work with and train PENGUINS???
