In movies like “Marley & Me”, “Rescued by Ruby”, “Beethoven” etc, how do they get the animals to cooperate/act? Is it not confusing for the animals being called names on set that are not their real names in real life?

just today i was reading the Trivia section of IMDB’s page for Pet Sematary (2019) -> https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0837563/trivia/?ref_=tt_ql_trv and it explains it pretty well.

tl;dr; multiple animals, lots of snacks (bribery) and dirty tricks movies make use of to fool us 😀
