To All Applicants:

If you would like to be considered for the show, we require signed release forms and a short video (5-7 minutes) for all of our applicants.

Please mail your video and forms according to the information below, or if you live in Southern California, bring them to an audition and meet the producers.

1.) Video Requirements:

In your video, we would like you to capture at least 3 instances of your dog’s unwanted behavior. In addition, we would like you to introduce yourself and your dog. Give us your name, age, and occupation, as well as the dog’s name, age, and breed. Tell (and show) us the problems your dog is having and how these issues are affecting your life. Also, let us know what you love about your dog.

Please do not endanger any people or dogs while trying to capture the behavior. Try using a muzzle, leash, or fence to assist, if you are dealing with an aggressive dog.

When making the video:

• Please try to keep the camera as still as possible and have a friend do the filming. We want to see both you and the dog!
• Avoid having the date and time on the screen.
• Don’t zoom in too close to the dog; we want to see as much of the environment as possible.
• Avoid backlighting on subjects around doors and windows.
• Please do not add music to your submission video; editing your video is not required.
• The more you can show the behavior, the better, as that is mostly how we make our decisions
• Be creative! Tell us why your situation would make for a good story.

Technical Information:

We accept all formats, except from digital cameras and cell phones. We are unable to return submission videos, so if you would like to keep the footage, please make a copy for yourself. If you're submitting a DVD, please make sure that the DVD is finalized and will play in a standard DVD player.

Please note, we will NOT consider your story for Dog Whisperer if you post your submission video on a website like Google Videos, YouTube, Myspace, or Friendster.

Don’t Have a Video Camera? Tips on How to Find One:

• Use your network. Ask you friends. Ask your friends to ask their friends. Ask your dentist, your hair stylist, and your mechanic. You never know who might have a camera!
• Rent a camera. Check your yellow pages for a vendor in your area.
• Check the library. Often your local library will have one available to borrow.

2.) Release Form Requirements:

All of the following forms must be completed and submitted with your video. Everyone seen in the video must sign an Adult or Minor Personal Release form, and at least one Bio Sheet should be filled out per submission. You can download the forms from the following links below:
