Cued behaviors
Speak
Barks on cue, reliably.
Head tilt
Tilts on a verbal prompt nearly every time.
Hold it · Take it · Leave it
Holds a product in her mouth on cue, and retrieves objects when asked to "let me see".
Sit pretty
Sits up on her hind legs, left paw held a little higher.
High five · Selfie paw
Single-paw lift on cue, toward a hand or the lens.
Bow
Front end down, tail up, on cue.
Spin
Twirls clockwise or counterclockwise, your call.
Play dead
Drops onto her side when "shot".
Hoop jump
Jumps through a hoop.
Paws up
Puts her front paws up on furniture, props or a mark.
Nose in · Head through
Pushes her snout into a prop, like a donut or a cupped hand, and pokes her head into a held-out headband or costume piece, so wardrobe goes on easily.
Head down · Chin down
Rests her head or chin on cue for low, calm frames.
Buttons
Presses talking buttons reliably, on cue.
On set
People-first
Greets every crew member like an old friend. Comfortable with strangers, handlers and busy rooms.
Travel-seasoned
Road trips, hotel rooms, mountain summits, snow, beaches and city sidewalks. New places don't rattle her.
Water-ready
Confident swimmer who happily retrieves a ball from the pool or the lake.
Wardrobe-tolerant
Cones, shirts, hats, goggles, shoes, costumes and ears. She wears them comfortably and keeps working.
