Dove Cresswell - Animal Trainer

Dove Cresswell is one of the more interesting animal trainers around. Why? Because she works in television and films training animals to perform according to the script. She's worked on various films including Space Buddies, The X Files: I Want to Believe, Cats and Dogs 2, Saved! and Sam’s Lake. She’s worked on the television programs including Romeo, Behind the Camera: Charlie's Angels, and Cougar Crossings.

It's not just dogs that she's trained. She's also trained large reptiles, cougars, rodents, birds, cockroaches and deer. She's trained all kinds of dog breeds and all sizes. She can train dogs up to Master's level in the Agility sport. For a twenty-five year old, I think that's pretty impressive.

Her fascination with dog training started with her labrador puppy that she took to dog obedience classes and afterwards spent hours training him in her back yard to do tricks and to navigate an obstacle course.

She volunteered at the {Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals|SPCA}. By 17 she had a paid staff position at an animal hospital after she had volunteered there since she was.

She did a BA in Science-Biology and got into films by chance working on a docu-drama Cougar Crossings where she proved she could work with juvenile cougars.

Currently, she volunteers with That'll Do Border Collie Rescue. Her own dogs are a Border Collie, an Australian Shepherd, and a mini Poodle x.

If you’re concerned that animals {are mistreated|don't enjoy their time} on film sets, Dove lets us know that they do enjoy making films and that there’s lots of playing in between takes! In USA and Canada, all animal trainers working in films and television are observed by the American Humane Association.

Do you want to see your dog in films? If so, you'd better make sure it's highly trained in obedience. Dove looks for dogs competing in Agility or Obedience.

Dove has studied with several of the top dog trainers and taken the most effective methods from all of them. Based upon her experience and study she put together her own training course for dogs. It is based upon the very same methods she uses to train animals for their roles in film. You can be sure her methods are highly effective because you have to produce the goods on a film set.
