Looking for a well-behaved animal that can follow cues on camera? I am Ranjith R1, and I provide trained dogs for film productions, advertisements, and social media shoots across Karnataka.

This German Shepherd is acting in a movie scene, tracking down a "killer". This shoot was handled by one of my students. We provide trained dogs and animals for all kinds of film productions.

This is a behind-the-scenes look at the Telugu movie "Cotton Candy". My student Chandan is on set with a German Shepherd and a Beagle that we provided for the film.

This video is inspired by the Kannada film "Nanu Matthu Gunda 2". It features my daughter Misha and my Golden Retriever Leo, showing how well-trained dogs can interact gently and safely with children for shoots.

This is my horse, Aira. Besides dogs, I also train other animals like horses and can provide them for film shoots, short movies, or even for social media reels.

A fun video featuring my daughter Misha and our trained dogs for a spoof of the "Pikley Pom Pom" song. We have trained pets ready for any kind of creative video project.

About Ready for the Spotlight: Film & TV Dogs

Getting a dog to focus under bright studio lights or amidst a busy film crew is different from basic obedience. My dogs don't just know commands; they understand how to wait for the director's cue, ignore set distractions, and stay calm while equipment moves around them. Whether you need a dog to act out a specific sequence or just sit quietly for a perfect shot, I bring trained, camera-ready animals that make your production smoother.

Filming with animals can be stressful if you aren't prepared. I have years of experience on sets, including work for movies like 'Cotton Candy'. My goal is simple: to make sure the animal performs the required action without wasting your production time.

My training approach is entirely positive. I do not use fear or shouting, which means the animal remains happy and responsive throughout the shoot. A happy dog is much easier to film than a stressed one.

What I bring to your shoot:

  • Professional Handling: I or my trained students accompany the animals to ensure safety and control at all times.
  • Action-Ready Skills: From barking on command to staying perfectly still, I can train the animal to match the specific needs of your script.
  • Variety of Animals: I do not just work with dogs. My academy also trains horses, which are often required for period films or specific creative projects.

I handle the communication, the cues, and the animal's comfort, leaving you free to focus on your creative vision. If you are planning a commercial, a short film, or a social media reel and need a professional partner who understands both animal behavior and the demands of a film set, contact me. We can discuss your script requirements and ensure we have the right pet ready to work.

I am Ranjith R1. Animals are my world, and my life revolves around my dogs, horses, and pigeons. I treat them like family, and I train them that way too—no hitting, no yelling, just clear communication that works as well on a movie set as it does at home.
