Christina Potter’s twenty-five plus years of training dogs have taught her more than her Masters Degree in Canine Psychology ever could. She has worked with many breeds such as Golden Retrievers, Chinese Cresteds, Berger Picards, and even an Afghan Hound. She has spent thousands of hours handling dogs for print ads, websites, motion capture for video games, commercials, and television shows--both live and pre-recorded. She was the animal handler on the live TV Special “2014 Hero Dog Awards”, the pilot episode of the TV series “The Good Cop” and the video short “…And She Was My Eve”. She was the on-set trainer for feature films “Funny Games”, “As Good As Dead”, “Our Idiot Brother”, “Second Act” and “Brittany Runs a Marathon”.
