Beverages were in plastic glasses covered with plastic wrap. The tablecloths were attached to the table tops, and there was no real food or silverware on the tables, only plastic plates and soft props. Trainers called the extremely well-rehearsed dog to run and jump onto a seat next to the actors, then onto the dining table, leaping from one table to the next, jumping over low dividers between tables. A cable controlled by crew members was used to open the door of the dining car. The boxcar was added later in post-production.ĭelgado races into the train's dining car, leaping on seats and tables. When Diablo jumps onto the train, the camera filmed the dog from a low angle as he jumped onto a table on the train tracks. The image of Chloe pulling on his ear was computer-generated. Another trainer gently tugged his ear to mimic Chloe pulling him and cued him to jump (with a helpful boost from the trainer who held him). One trainer instructed the dog to place his front paws on the edge of the boxcar a few times to mimic struggling to get on board. For the shots of the dog trying to jump onto the train, a trainer in front of a green screen held the dog while a second trainer hid in a stationary boxcar. The dog was equipped with a waist tie attached to a cable that ran alongside the tracks so that he could not get too close to the moving train. For the next shot, she was replaced with a coin purse, which he was cued to grab and set down onto the train, and she was digitally added in later. When Delgado lifts Chloe up onto the train, trainers cued the dog to put his head down near Chloe. The dogs were a safe distance from the trains, and trainers cued the dogs while jogging along the tracks. The noise of the parade was mimed, and sound was added in later so as not to scare the dogs.Ĭhloe and Delgado arrive at the train yard. For the scene in which Chloe and Delgado watch the parade go past, both well-trained dogs were placed on their marks and were not startled by the movement. The actors were rehearsed not to run in front of the running dogs.

The dog playing Delgado was a trained police dog who knew how to jump the fence on command. Delgado jumps the fence with Chloe in his mouth. The dogs were called through the hole, which was specially made with no sharp edges. The dogs escape through a hole in the fence.
A trainer called the Doberman to run to his mark and stop, far short of the door. This door was on a rope and pulley system, controlled by a trainer.
When Diablo races after Chloe and the dogs who rescue her, the door to the arena slams in his face. The rest of the scene's action was computer-generated. Without the Chihuahua present, the Doberman was also coaxed to bite and pull a stick with a leather end, and to bite the empty costume and tug on it. The outfit was affixed to her with Velcro so that it would come off easily, and the Doberman pulled it off her. When Diablo appears to snatch Chloe's outfit off her, this scene was filmed in separate shots. "Chloe" was cued to back up to the door from which she entered, and trainers used brooms to gently brush on either side of her to get her to run in circles and look panicked. Both dogs appeared to stare at each other, when actually they were looking at their respective trainers, who were calling to them. The dog playing Diablo was then held by two trainers and called into the ring by a third. The actor held the dog in his hand and moved his arm forward, just as the trainer called the dog to jump and go to her mark. The ring floor was covered with canvas and fill dirt to allow for safe footing. Chloe is dropped into the ring to fight Diablo.
