Introducing K9 Commando Film & TV: Professional Animal Talent and Military Consulting for Productions
Blog Post • 24 February 2026
We’re thrilled to announce the official launch of K9 Commando Film & TV, a specialist division of K9 Commando dedicated to bringing authenticity, professionalism, and animal talent to the screen.
With over 75 years of combined experience training and handling animals for film, television, commercials, and photoshoots, our team combines established industry knowledge with modern, humane training practices. Three of our four trainers are experienced US professionals who have worked extensively on productions worldwide— together ensuring that every production receives expert guidance and highly trained animal talent.
Animal Welfare at the Core
At K9 Commando Film & TV, animal welfare is our highest priority. From small shoots to large-scale productions, we ensure the safety, comfort, and wellbeing of our animal performers on and off set. Our trainers collaborate closely with directors, producers, and crew to deliver reliable performances without compromising care, ensuring scenes look authentic while keeping everyone safe.
We work with a wide range of species and can tailor training for both natural behaviour and choreographed action. Our approach allows animals and human performers to work seamlessly together, creating confident, believable, and operationally credible interactions on screen.
Authentic Military and Tactical Consulting
In addition to animal training, K9 Commando Film & TV provides professional military consulting for productions seeking realism, accuracy, and credibility. Led by a veteran Royal Marine Commando and supported by former military professionals, our consultants help bring military, police, and tactical environments to life on screen — avoiding clichés and ensuring movements, dialogue, and tactics feel authentic. Whether your project is a war film, police drama, action thriller, or commercial requiring tactical realism, we provide guidance at every stage — from script consultation to choreography and on-set support.
We also provide specialist close protection and location support for productions operating in challenging or sensitive environments. Delivered by former military professionals, this service goes beyond basic security — helping production teams plan movement, assess locations, and maintain a controlled environment so crews can focus on creative and logistical demands.
