Your pet can be a star, just like Mariah Carey's, Kim Basinger's, Matthew Broderick's and Sarah Jessica Parker's

So, your dog is a couch potato and doesn't have the glamour and star quality you desire? Is that the case?

Well then, you need to get Bash Dibra's new book, StarPet, “How to Make Your Pet A Star” by Simon and Schuster. Bash--aside from having a great name--is the trainer of celebrities’ dogs such as Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Ron Howard, Martin Scorsese, Kim Basinger, Alec Baldwin, Ralph Lauren, Si Newhouse and Henry Kissinger.

His new book StarPet, “How To Make Your Pet A Star” offers advice on how to:

• “teach your cat or dog to pose for the camera”
• “train your pet to sit, speak, or raise a paw on cue”
• “create a professional pet portfolio”
• “attend local auditions and open casting calls”
• “practice the same techniques Dibra uses in his StarPet Workshops”
• “learn about pet health insurance and animal-actors rights” and
• “receive expert advice about responsible pet ownership”

Personally, we're just happy that our pet welcomes us when we arrive home and doesn't chew on the furniture, but if your sights are set a little higher, then you can find out more information on Bash's book at BashDibra.com.
