Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)

In the scene where the older lady on the walker with the dog cross the street as the cars chase Sonic down the street, they filmed the lady with the dog separate from the car driving down the road. This dog had been prepped for the action before they filmed. At the studio, the dog’s costume had been fitted and the walker modified for easier maneuvering. They filmed the woman and the dog walking on set.

In the scene when the dog runs into a bedroom and licks Sonic’s face who falls out of his bed, the dog trainer prepped it specifically for the action required. They also filmed this scene in a studio. On action, the trainer cued the dog to run to the bed and jump on it. The dog licked a dummy, then jumped off.

In the scene where the dog and Sonic sit in a hotel together, and the dog wears sunglasses, the trainer put dog on his mark, placed sunglasses on him, then stood behind the camera where he held dog’s attention with hand cues.

In the scene where Sonic drives a lawnmower in a living room, and it’s pulling a wagon with a dog sitting in it, prior to shooting the dog jumped in the wagon.  Off-camera a trainer pulled the wagon with a monofilament. When the wagon reached a certain point, a second crew member in the living room pulled the second piece of monofilament, turning the wagon and bringing it into the living room towards him. The CGI tractor will look like it is pulling wagon with dog in it, around living room.

In the scene where Sonic sits on the couch and the dog walks past him covered in bubbles, the dog was called to set by a trainer. They covered the dog in nontoxic bubbles. On action, the dog walked from A to B.

In the scene where the actors play baseball in a field with Sonic and the dog, the dog was brought to the set by a trainer. The trainer gave the actress a small treat to feed the dog upon greeting her so that the dog knew to go to the actress.
