Casting Call for Dog Leash Commercials

 

Roles:

People: An adult woman or man comfortable around dogs. Preference given to actors who have or can borrow 2 dogs they already know.

Dogs: Mid to large size dogs (preferably around 50 lbs. no larger than 80lbs) Preference given to two dogs who already know each other. Dogs must be able to sit on command, tolerate getting a leash put on and taken off and must walk comfortably on a leash next to another dog. No additional special training is required.

Location:

Shooting in and around Asheville, NC.

When is the shoot:

We have some flexibility on when we shoot. We will aim for a weekend in late afternoon or evening. Saturday, September 19^th would be the first available day.

Duration of shoot:

Up to 3 hours

Pay:

$100 flat rate per actor.

$50 flat rate per dog.

Project:

We are producing 3 dog leash commercials. There will be a two-dog retractable leash, a dual dog rope leash and a single dog leash with a sliding handle for quick control. Each actor and dogs will be appearing in all 3 commercials and footage will be captured for all back-to-back. For example: we’ll get some shots putting on the retractable leash, wide shots of the dogs walking, then some close-up shots. We’ll swap leashes and do the same thing again with the rope leash. Then finally, we’ll keep one dog off camera and do the same thing with a single dog for the last leash.

How to Audition:

Send a head shot with your name, email address, phone number, age and height. You may also include any video links to recent work or auditions. The deadline is September 15, 2026.

For actresses/actors: Send headshot and any links to recent work.

For dogs: Send photos and weight/size. Describe their temperament around other dogs and confirm they can walk on a leash.

To keep attachments smaller we prefer you upload any videos to youtube or vimeo and email the link.
