I've always been curious as to how people manage to have their dogs in advertisements and commercials? Are there pet auditions or something? Anyone know about anything in the Toronto, ON region?

I think they just choose experienced, trained dogs who have done work before. I don't think there are auditions. Maybe you could do some research to find out.

A friend in California has had her dog in commercials and a couple of movies. You have to get a portfolio of pictures done by a professional photographer and go through an agency. It takes a lot of time and a lot of money. She has both so it's no issue. She goes to loads of auditions set up by the agncy. I don;t think you can just show up.
There probably is a pet agency in Toronto. Check online or in the phone book.

I don't know abotu some of these comercails but about 15 or so years ago there was a comecial for Kibbles and bits I think with two Golden retriever pups carring pacifiers. Wehn the dogs turned a year old they were bought to a vets office I worked at to be put to sleep. Tehy had gotten to big and weren't "cute" anymore. they didn't want the dogs adopted out but put to sleep.
I will say they misteriously got out of the vets office and weren't put to sleep

they take dog who have been in movies and are trained.
i live in south carolina and some where here is where they keep all the pets who have acted. they are not nessecarely pets of peoples. alot of them are from shelters but once a dog acts then they are going to be acting in lots of other things because it is so hard to train a pet and toget it to do that kind of work

One of my dogs was used several years ago. They contacted me, I had never tried to audition him or anything.
They did give me some nice pics tho' as well as a chunk of change.
Here is one of the pics that ended up on a dog food bag for a while.
