Many people believe that if an animal can walk, they can act. Our view is that with the correct training pets and other animals can perform in front of a camera, often surrounded by anywhere from 20-50 crew members, a Director, producer(s), studio executives and other professional actors. This is the Action Animals method ...

We’re constantly updating our methods to stay on top of the very latest in animal care—especially for life on set, where the lights are bright, the schedules are wild, and the stars have fur, feathers, or hooves.

As our slogan proudly declares, we work with all animals across every media—yes, even the divas and drama queens of the animal world. With that comes a big responsibility: understanding their behavior and training them for very specific roles (no small feat when your star refuses to hit their mark). That’s why Action Animals only hires the very best trainers—true experts in their fields. After all, animals don’t know why we’re asking them to do what they do, they just know who they trust. And trust is earned the simple way: with kindness, patience, and always putting their wellbeing first.

Our Philosophy
At Action Animals we believe that the welfare and happiness of our animals is paramount. Our training methods are based on positive reinforcement. Our proven track record shows you will always get the best performance from content and healthy animals. We ensure that there is a "set savvy person" accompanying all our animal handlers to the shoot; this saves production time, and unnecessary frustrations.
