Persil UK contacted PetLondon Models to find them a puppy to star in their brand new #Willitclean online ads. Persil is the UK’s leading brand of laundry detergent products and known both across Europe and international markets. They required one highly trained dog who wasn’t afraid to dirty and leave muddy puppy paw prints all across the set. After much deliberation and a casting video being the deciding factor between the finalists, the winner was chosen! It was superb Teddy a Cavalier cross Bichon, who became the star of the show.
Ever since they first met, when Teddy was a three month old puppy; Teddy and Jade, his owner, have been the best of friends. Ever since he was at puppy training academy, he’s been praised by all for his eagerness to learn and his ability to pick things up very quickly. The reward for learning new tricks is a winning combination of organic dog treats and his beloved tennis balls. Teddy’s passion for the fuzzy yellow balls is something to behold and it’s a well-known fact his love for them is second to none.
Teddy took to his new found stardom extremely well and produced a stellar performance; his chatty and vocal personality optimised by the cutest bark ever as seen in the advert itself. Teddy’s curious nature meant he got into a little bit of trouble when he started eating the pot of mud that was intended for his coat, but I think we will forgive him for being so utterly adorable.
In the shot where his back is turned from the camera, Jade used his favourite toy to distract him as his inquisitive mind wanted to explore the action that was going on behind him and the camera.
All in all, Teddy produced a top notch performance and enjoyed the whole experience. I don’t think anyone can resist being the centre of attention, surrounded by adoring fans and treats. We have been reliably informed that he can’t wait to get in front of the camera again to ‘wow’ audiences worldwide with his trusty tennis ball close by.
