Register Your Pet
How your pet can become a model.
Just complete the Registration Form and send us some photos. We need up to 3 GOOD photos. Have a browse through this website for examples of good photos - you don't have to be a professional photographer, just make sure they are in focus and clearly show the body and the head of your pet.
Remember, the better the photo, the more chance of being cast for a modelling assignment.
Check out the FAQs below for answers to popular questions about registering your pet as a model.
There is no guarantee that your pet will be selected for a modelling or acting contract, which is why we don't charge a fee for becoming a member. So it's free to join and always will be.
You will be paid for attending a modelling assignment, which is determined by the length of time you’ll be there, the distance to travel and the specific requirement/actions. Please be aware though, that we are not interested in any members who are only interested in making money.
Animal Direction only accepts responsible pet owners.
FAQs
How do I register my pet to become a model?
Just fill in the form on this link, make sure you upload a couple of good photos, then we'll process your application and confirm your membership.
How much is it to join?
It's free to join, and always will be.
I've registered my pet but not had a modelling contract yet, why?
Unfortunately we can't guarantee your pet will be offered a modelling contract. Models are selected specifically for each assignment based on breed, colouring, skills, training, and/or locality.
Is my pet suitable for modelling?
Every animal is different and modelling isn't necessarily suitable for all. If your pet is of a confident nature, happy to be handled, is comfortable around people/children/other animals, then generally speaking, your pet is suitable to apply for membership. It’s very important that your pet can take direction, and - particularly for dogs - has some level of training and obedience.
If your pet is shy, nervous, or does not like leaving the comfort of their own home/environment, then modelling would not be best suited to them. You know your pet best, so please think carefully before applying as their safety, comfort and well-being is first priority. If you're not sure, then give us a call or drop us an email and we'll happily advise based on your pet's specific characteristics.
How does it work?
When you join Animal Direction, you go onto our membership system where we create a 'profile' for your pet. We will then get in touch with you as soon as we have an assignment that suits your pets skills, abilities and/or looks, and is within a sensible commutable distance to where you live. You can then choose to accept the assignment or not depending on whether you are available and would like to take part.
How much will I get paid?
This totally depends on the assignment, what is required, how long you are needed for and how far you have to travel. We will agree a fee with you before you need to accept the contract.
How far will I have to travel?
We always try to keep travel to a minimum for our animal members and will offer you modelling assignments that are within a sensible commute. Travel costs are always covered.
I'm a trainer/handler, can I join?
Yes please do. In your application form, please mention that you are a trainer/handler and any qualifications you have.
Why is my pet's photo not on your website?
Because we have so many members, we are unable to display all photos on the website. But this does not affect any chances of being cast for a modelling assignment.
