sas Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) About 2 months ago, 2 animal agencies contacted us about the possibility of using Dante in TV Commercial, we were stocked to discover it was for TOYOTA in Korea, we ended up going with the Animal House Agency, they were awesome to deal with and their head Trainer Lindy who stuck by us through the 3 days was such a barrel of knowledge, and the amount of tricks she had up her sleeve to keep getting a dogs attention when they were so over it was very impressive Strangely one of the hardest things he had to do which you'll see on the 'Driving Movie' is Heel on the incorrect side, for an obedience trained dog who knows exactly where heel is he really had trouble with it, I'm sure he thought I was trying to trick him to get him into trouble LOL Where he's in the car, the back seat was actually taken out and I was tucked ducked down behind the other sit putting him in position and giving him direction and my OH was outside the car on the trailer getting his attention. During filming we did it with Natural ears and holding his ears up, they later decided to go with the cropped look, they also gave him a Black nose and whitened him up a bit. The lady in the commercial is a famous Korean Acress and Author. If you'd like to see 3 of the videos they released today, have a look at the below. To see the making of the commercial, go to http://www.mycorolla.co.kr/, an intro will start, you can watch that or skip it, scroll down the bottom and select COROLLA STORY then 'Making Film': To see one of the ads, click DRIVING MOVIE, as shown below with the red highlighted link: Then there is the commercial where he talks Select COROLLA STORY link at the bottom of the page and then select AD LIBRARY, then select the link on the right shown by the Red highlighted link below: Very proud of my boy and will remember that when he's naughty next time Without the Air Brushing, this is what he looks like...

sas Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) No, no april fools, you're not serious right? LOL 3 days of hard work for Mr Dante....pretty elaborate April Foold joke! You can match up all his patches from his photo to the ones in the commercial if you like, they added a couple of patches on his face but everything else will match. I'm in the Making of the film video too....but you prob haven't seen me before lol Edited March 31, 2011 by MEH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koalathebear Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Absolutely gorgeous. I can't see the ads for some reason (despite the latest version of firefox) but the photos are a hoot. Dante is such a good boy to endure the make-up - our two would be rolling around trying to lick it off after the first 'leave it' wore off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
