i found this advert funny .but then i have dogs very similar in looks and behaviour ,lol im realieved to see the dog mouth is computerised while singing lol those awfull teeth
my boy actually preformed this trick at crufts *he hurt a toe prior to going in the ring and looked even worse than the dog in the bank"30 minutes later i was at a trade stand and he was performing tricks 4 treats ,and a lady had seen him in the ring a couldnt believe it was the same dog

I can't believe you all think that the dog was trained to tremble! It was on a pad that vibrated and didn't cause the dog any harm. It's a well trained dog who lives with his owners in California. Oh and it was trained to bow its head - its not cruel! They are taking the advert off the air now, thanks to pointless complaints.

How do they get acting dogs to do most tricks you see ?????????? they are trained to do so in a very happy rewarding enviroment , the whole add is hysterical i cant belive some people thought it was real lol sometimes you have to look beyond what you see !!! computer graphics and a very well trained pooch . And also very clever advertising as far as i can see cos everyone is talking about it so either way the adverts hit its mark .

training is quite easy if you know your dog well. for example if your dog crawls along the floor when you place a treat a little infrount of him when he lies down then give him the command to crawl and go from there

I know that dog trainers are pretty good and that they reward behaviour with treats but surely you would have to get a dog into this state in the first place. I can't see how it can be done without cruelty.

Anyone any opinions on this? I for one hate it !!!!! and by the way l can't remember what the make of car is either as l am so upset each time its on.

i think it is wrong too, poor thing, they should remove the advert i know so many people that hate it too.

claire - look on The Lair of the Crab of Ineffable Wisdom - a load of stuff by Joel Veitch that will probably crush your will to live loads of the cats from the crusha advert, they've been doing it for years.
