Producter got our names and phone number from DDT club and then they called us. They wanted to have a calm, little, hairy dog and had seen our DDT club internet site. They thought dandie would look rather nice. They printed Aatu´s photos out of net and asked me about his character. Could he really lay down on the steps and stay still there? Yes, he would be able to do this. So, they promised to call back later and tell us if we were part of their team or not. They had few other dogs in their minds too. 

After one week they called and told they have chosen Aatu. WOW!! We started practising. I lifted Aatu up on our house stairs and told him stay there. He did. It was easy trick to get candies!! Then I trained him to put his head down and pretend as he was asleep. He learned it quite quickly. Thankfully, because we only had two days time to practise these tricks.

On 22th and 23th of january we went to Telakka Studio, Helsinki. They made the comercial ready in two days. First day I had planned to go with Aatu into one of Helsinki´s biggest department stores. I thought he would calm there and get bored with lots of people, but then I got a call from studio and they asked if I could come right away there. So much for practising in crowd.

This comercial came out from our TV in February and we managed to record it!! :-)
