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

In the scene when the dog runs into a bedroom and licks Sonic’s face who falls out of his bed, the dog trainer was very experienced and had trained this dog and also prepped it specifically for the action required today.

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. The wheels were chalked by trainer. Two trends of monofilament attached to handle, along with one green rope. One piece of mono went straight past the living room door to a crew member who will pull the wagon straight. When the wagon reaches a certain point in the doorway from the hall to the living room, 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. CG tractor will look like it is pulling wagon with dog in it, around living room.
