Featured With Johnny Depp

Meet Johnny Depp’s Cute Costar: Toula the Dog! Toula, a 5-year-old border collie, makes an appearance in the movie, greeting Depp and his gangster buddies as they arrive at a remote inn. ‘It’s not a huge part, but it’s interesting,’ says owner and dog trainer Christine Mahaney tells PEOPLE Pets. ‘It’s where the film all changes.’

Chicago Fire

Christine Mahaney is the head animal trainer on the recent season of the Chicago Fire. She has had several dogs that were used in the filming of the show. Chicago Fire required a feature dalmatian named Tuesday who has been in over 8 episodes. Tuesday has been a huge success on the show and we love working with the crew!

  • Christine has helped us train 3 generations of Huskies. Each dog had unique personalities that required a different approach. We couldn’t be happier with her work!.
