In May 2008 Paw Behaviour Dog Training was contacted to provide a dog for a short film. The film, entitled “Anything You Can Do”, is one of four short films Youth Disability Advocacy Service (YDAS) produced to promote awareness of issues dealing with young people and disabilities.

“Anything You Can Do” is a fast paced, dynamic and fun short children’s film dealing with themes about disability, fair play, opportunities and support. In the script the dog “Burger” (played by Nelda) is an assistance/companion dog to a young child in a wheel chair. With less than two weeks before filming, the challenge was to train many complex behaviours which included the dog yawning, growling, pushing a ball and working with two small boys – one in a wheelchair.

Anything You Can Do (Australia)

Two boys face off in a back room. The competition is fierce. Faces are pulled, grapes are thrown and burps are unleashed. But when the stakes are at their highest, and no punches are pulled, will victory still taste sweet?
Anything You Can Do is an initiative of the Youth Affairs Council of Victoria and the Youth Disability Advocacy Service to make fresh representations of young people with a disability on screen, and will be making its world premiere at Little Big Shots in 2009.
“Anything You Can Do” now travels the world as part of the International Film Festival, but will return for the 2010 regional Little Big Shots Program.
