Start of filming for Netflix’s new canine comedy

Filming has begun for the new Netflix comedy by Marco Petry. The screenplay was written by Jane Ainscough, Marco Petry, and Hortense Ullrich. Viola Jäger and Marina Schiller are responsible as producers, with the production being handled by Olga Film and made with the support of Cine Tirol.

Synopsis
In this turbulent comedy, five quirky dog owners seek help in dealing with their four-legged friends.
Their last hope: an intensive course with the charismatic and legendary dog trainer Nodon in the mountains of Tirol. The motley group includes the dog-hating politician Ursula, who has adopted the stubborn dog Brenda to polish up her image, the naive Babs with her big, tempestuous dog Torsten, the quarrelling couple Ziggy and Helmut with their spoiled Chihuahua dog Gaga and, last but not least, the unapproachable Hakan, who distrusts his insecure German shepherd Roxy. With unusual dog trainer Nodon tries to coach the overburdened two-legged friends, because it quickly becomes clear that they themselves need behavioral therapy – not their loyal companions on four paws.
