    Rene Nuijens grew up as a son of a pet shop owner in a village near Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Nuijens finished the Amsterdam Graphic School, studied photography at the Royal Art Academy in the Hague and had a working period in New York. Nuijens learned life’s most important lessons while working as a boy in his fathers pet shop. For example, that humor is very much like kitty litter: its best to keep it dry, very dry… His ability to talk and bond with animals laid the groundwork in his development into a true actors director. And while he never liked dog shows, they did give him a taste for winning prizes.
