Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / ANIMALS: Working with Dogs
« on: Jun 10, 2013, 08:34 pm »
Hello all!
I'm in a rehearsal process for The Two Gentlemen of Verona and we have (4) dogs cast to play the role of Crab. The 4 dogs will alternate performances due to the lengthy run and fact that they were hired with the provision of having the owner present for the entire time they are with us.
Looking for some advice from anyone who has worked with dogs before, particularly with double cast dogs or with dogs in outdoor venues (we perform in a park).
Tips, tricks, code words, and favorite treats are all welcome. Thanks!
