Filming for a Commercial

A super day put for Kath, Spice, Amber and Denby in Bushey Hertfordshire.

Spice is fast becoming known as a very reliable dog and this time had been requested to be part of a commercial for a new security system.  She "danced" with her on stage dance partner, actor Gary Grant. Kath called the commands out of shot but Spice took the requested actions with Gary!!   Perfect.

Both Amber and Denby were filmed dancing with Gary too and Denby had extra work targeting the sensor for the alarm!   He did really well and leaernt his "job" in just a few minutes.

Hopefully more shots to follow!   Thank you Gary and the entire team - you were very considerate towards everyone.
