Baby, Youre A Star!
A One-Day Workshop for Dogs Destined for the Spotlight
Your dog has the looks. The personality. The undeniable star quality.
Now it’s time to help the rest of the world see it.
Baby, You’re a Star is a one-day workshop designed to show you what it really takes to help your dog get noticed on social media, land professional opportunities, and prepare for their next big role.
You’ll step into the role of your dog’s own Tail-ent Manager—learning how to capture their best angles, build camera-ready skills, handle the paperwork that makes it official, and confidently pursue opportunities in the entertainment industry.
This isn’t just a cute photo session. It’s a practical, hands-on introduction to the business, photography, and training behind a camera-ready dog.
One Day Workshop
Saturday, September 19th
The Family Dog, Millcreek
WHAT YOU AND YOUR DOG WILL LEARN
Baby, You’re a Star is divided into three parts, each covering a different piece of helping your dog stand out.
PART ONE: BECOME THE TAIL-ENT MANAGER
Behind every successful canine star is a person who knows how to manage the business.
You’ll learn what it takes to pursue professional opportunities with your dog, including the paperwork, preparation, expectations, and practical details that help turn star potential into something official.
You’ll also leave with a connection to a talent scout, giving you a real next step when you’re ready to help your dog get discovered.
PART TWO: GETTING THE SHOT
Your dog doesn’t need to understand their best angle. That’s your job.
In this photography-focused section, you’ll learn how to capture the expressions, poses, movement, and personality that make your dog stand out on camera.
With guidance from Rita, you’ll explore how to work with your dog in front of the camera, recognize their strongest looks, and create content that feels polished without losing what makes your dog uniquely them.
Whether you’re building a social media presence, creating submission photos, or simply trying to get better pictures of your dog, you’ll leave with practical skills you can use immediately.
PART THREE: TRICKS THAT BOOK
Being adorable gets attention. Being trained gets the job.
This hands-on training portion focuses on three sets of camera-ready skills designed to help your dog get noticed by followers, talent scouts, and maybe even their next movie director.
With guidance from Mo and Guen, you’ll learn how to build reliable behaviors while keeping your dog confident, engaged, and excited to work with you.
The goal isn’t to create a perfectly rehearsed robot. It’s to develop a dog who can perform, adapt, and let their personality shine when the camera starts rolling.
WHO THIS CLASS IS FOR
Baby, You’re a Star is a great fit for:
• Dog parents who believe their dog has serious star potential

• Content creators who want to capture better photos and videos of their dogs
• Dog-and-handler teams ready to learn camera-friendly tricks and behaviors

You do not need previous entertainment-industry experience. We’ll help you understand where to begin and what comes next.
HOW CLASS IS STRUCTURED
The workshop runs from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and moves through three focused sections:

VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS
Dogs must be current on age-appropriate vaccinations before attending. This includes DHLPP vaccinations appropriate for your puppy's age and Bordetella (Kennel Cough). Rabies is not required for puppies too young to receive it. If your puppy is following a vet-recommended schedule and hasn't completed all rounds yet due to age, that's completely normal. Reach out before registering if you have questions.
