On March 28, 2010 we provided a German Shepherd for this film. The dog's name is Aba and she is owned by professional trainer, Teresa Mathern from Stafford, VA. Aby is well trained to visual and verbal cues (in German) and performed beautifully for the production. The other trainer on set was Miriam Fields-Babineau. Below are pics from the production filming. We did 5 filming locations i day.
Lysol for Wal-Mart
On August 18, 2010 Training Unlimited provided a Golden Retriever, Chase Hudson, to perform for a commercial being filmed in Richmond, VA at Maymount Park. The trainer on site was Miriam Fields-Babineau. As Chase is a very advanced dog (i.e. extremely well trained and knowledgeable of EVERYTHING, and then some) only one handler was required for this production.
It was a hot day, and the heat of the lighting added to the overall discomfort, but Chase was in his element and performed beautifully. He's a real joy to spend time with and to work with.
Below are some pics and a short video on set.

Norfolk-Southern Railroad Commercial
On August 26, 2010 Training Unlimited provided a dog for a Norfolk-Southern Rail commercial, filmed in Arcadia, VA. The dog utilized was Princess Fields, a Pit-bull mix and the trainer on set, Miriam Fields-Babineau. The surroundings were very beautiful, but it was a very hot day and we had to wait around the entire day. Though called in to be primary animal actor, I found out on set that we were there as backup. As the crew was running behind schedule, they were satisfied with the primary dog, provided by another trainer and we were sent home without having performed. However, it was still a great day on set with some interesting people and we got a Norfolk-Southern T-shirt and ball cap!

On September 7, 2010 Training Unlimited provided a Yellow Lab, Bolt Davis, for a Southern States production. The trainer was Miriam Fields-Babineau. Bolt had two scenes. One in the back of a pick-up truck and the other in front of a pile of hay bales. He performed beautifully and professionally.
