Sharp eyes, however, will notice that this trick was missed in a scene during editing where Cujo is viewed from behind ready to attack, but his tail is wagging furiously. Other tricks were employed to get the dogs to respond accordingly: Animal trainers put favorite toys inside the car to make the dogs try to get them, but look as if they were attacking the car.
While a number of dogs played Cujo, sadly, the primary Saint Bernard used died of bloat during post production, though some sources write that his passing was due to an infection. As for the animal trainer, Karl Miller, he was doubtful from the onset about using Saint Bernards. During pre-production, he noted that there were no Saint Bernards who were trained. I have lots of Dobermans and things like that that are trained. Bernard costume in a few scenes as well.
The film's crew even brought on a backup Labrador with a St. While the names of most of their canine stars have faded away with time, the cast and crew of Cujo generally agree that there were about five total dogs used in the film, though varying accounts have put the dog count as high as thirteen. Each St. Bernard in the movie was trained to perform specific tasks: one dog would bark on command, while others were taught to run along predetermined routes.
Of course, there were scenes in the film that required the dogs to perform tasks deemed too dangerous or difficult for the actual dog actors to carry out.
So, for the scenes in which Cujo rams his head into the car window in an attempt to break through, a mechanical dog and dog head were used. Additionally, for some of the more involved scenes, stuntman Gary Morgan performed these scenes wearing a dog suit to keep both the dogs and the actors safe. He worked closely with his master for 14 years and enjoyed an amazing year lifespan.
