At Leverage Animal Actors, we believe that the key to exceptional performances lies in the passion and dedication of our animals. Our training philosophy is rooted in positive reinforcement and creating a fun, engaging environment that brings out the best in every animal we work with.
With a deep understanding of each animal’s unique talents and temperament, we work tirelessly to ensure every performance exceeds expectations — on set, on stage, or in front of the camera.
Whether it’s a starring role in a feature film, a commercial campaign, or a captivating live performance, our dogs are prepared to shine — delivering reliable, polished performances with enthusiasm and joy.
Based on the East Coast and available nationwide, our dogs have experience on professional sets, live stages, and commercial shoots.
