For those that were not selected, here are 5 tips to help you nail your next dog model casting:
1. Follow instructions completely. Copy and paste the casting call details on word or in your email, so that you have all the information in front of you:

2. Do your homework. Jump online and check out the company’s website and social media platforms. Make note of the types of models they’ve used in the past or anything worth mentioning in your casting submission.
3. Submit only photos that fit the project theme. For example, if the theme is fall fashion, you would not want to submit a summer fashion photo. If you are going for the cover, your photo should be simple, elegant, and close up.
4. Prepare a professional email with all the above casting details. Check for spelling and grammar. Copy and paste in an email with correct mention in the subject line. In this case it would be “Paw Prints Magazine Fall Casting,” or “Season of Style casting.”
5. Remember to attach photo(s) and delete the casting details if they were pasted in your email. Make sure the email address is correct before pressing send.
