Pet Modelling experience
Nala has filmed the N Power ‘Superpowers’ advert, Pets at Home & IAMS pet food packaging & most recently a TV advert for Mortgage Advice Bureau. Recently Nala worked with Land Rover a luxury car brand that specialises in four-wheel-drive vehicles, owned by British multinational car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover.
Most recently this unique dog model worked with supermarket giant Aldi UK modelling their range of memory foam pet bedding.
She adores being in the spotlight with all of the attention on her. She is good with people & will work for them taking cues from them with a very short ‘bonding’ period. Nala is fine to work around other dogs but can be anxious if an unknown dog is in her space, but she will work in close proximity to all other animals.
She is an exceptionally well-trained stunt dog & obedient animal ideal for any brief requiring expert pet talent.
