Emma Zen's Tricks and Commands

These are instructions can preformed with the handler being in front of, behind or to my side of the pet. I don't really need to be in sight at all! Emma Zen responds to both verbal cues and/or hang signals. She also knows how to perform most of these directions from a distance of 6 to 12 feet, a requirement of both stage and film. Through Below you will be able to view my extensive list of commands that she practices daily. 


Emma Zen is ZEN. If you are looking for dog to chase a ball across the scene go hire a Border Collie. (Notice the command "Sit"  is not on the list.) If you're looking for a dog that will hold an extended pose, or one who is noise and new situation tolerant or can be trained on the scene, hire Emma Zen!

Emma Zen is trusting and can be walked through or onto most any situation. She is loyal to the actor/actress. While she is extensively trained for film and stage commands, wear she shines is behind the camera.
Her best assets is that she is photogenic and can be re-positioned during a shoot holding the pose. Making her a great for still photography!
