Make your animal a Hollywood star! We are not joking with you. You can sign up your favorite pet for auditions for acting and modeling. Your animal has a chance to get discovered. It can be any kind of animals: dogs, cats, monkeys. Sometimes we need even more exotic animals like snakes, lions or tigers. Every animal trainer will tell you they love animals, and it is generally true--why else would they have selected a career which requires them to spend so much time with animals? When we say that we do this because we love animals, it means something more--our entire lives have been about animals.
Organizations such as the American Humane Association monitor the training and use of animals such as those used in the entertainment industry. The Patsy Award (Picture Animal Top Star of the Year) was originated by the Hollywood office in 1939. They decided to honor animal performers after a horse was killed in an on-set accident during the filming of the Tyrone Power film Jesse James.

The award now covers animals modeling both film and television and is separated into four categories: canine, equine, wild and special. The special category encompasses everything from goats to cats to pigs. One famous animal trainer, Frank Inn, was the proud owner of over 40 Patsy awards.

Patience and repetition are critical components of successful animal training. Inn's most famous animal was Higgins, who came from the Burbank, California Animal Shelter. Inn began training animals while incapacitated due to an automobile accident. Higgins starred in the Petticoat Junction sitcom in the 1960s and the first two Benji films in 1974 and 1977 animals modeling.

In the United States, use of selected inmates in prisons to train animals modeling service dogs has proved a valuable resource to service animal agencies. In addition to adding to the short-supply of service animals, such programs have produced benefits in improved socialization skills and behavior of inmates.

Lifetime animals modeling bonds are often made between trainers and animals. The ashes of Higgins were buried with trainer Inn when he died in 2002.
