FAQs
How do I register my pet to become a model?
Just fill in the registration form (currently closed), 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.
