Product testing
The product lives with the pack. Gates get slammed. Bowls get claimed. Towels get muddy. The camera is on for the real use, not a one-take unbox.
TikTok collab guidelines · September 2026
What six Standard Poodles will do to your product.
Seven poodles. One cast. Angela films from Vancleave, Mississippi — six Standards plus Colonel Rebel. Gates, food, grooming, gear. What survives gets the video. What doesn’t still gets an honest one.
The pack is the test. The house is the set.

The house
Angela. Seven poodles. Vancleave, Mississippi.
Royal Dixie is not a rental studio and not a talking-head UGC shop. The pack lives here. If a product cannot survive that, it should not be in a paid video pretending it can.
I’m Angela. I film for @royaldixiepoodles. The house is in Vancleave, Mississippi — six Standard Poodles, one 14-pound miniature, wet paws, crate-room traffic, and a grooming table that actually gets used.
Brands come to us for a specific job: put the product in a large-dog home and show what happens. We will not bury a fail, and we will not invent a miracle. That is the whole offer.
If you need a polished actress in a white kitchen with one well-behaved extra, we are the wrong collab. If you need a pack that will find the weak latch, we are the right one.

Meet the cast
Seven poodles. Seven jobs. One house.
Brands don’t just get a dog. They get the right Royal Dixie personality for the product. Six Standards for the stress test. Colonel Rebel for the small-dog comparison.
Luna
The Mouth
Bossy. Opinionated. Born for reaction videos.
Birdy
Momma’s Girl
Sweet, expressive, grooming and comfort.
Copper
The Athlete
72+ pounds of pool, outdoor and durability testing.
Ollie Beau
The Cajun
The character. Comedy, attitude and storytelling.
Dixie Jo
The Queen
RBF, brains, and absolutely willing to defeat your containment product.
Denver
The Southern Belle
Soft personality. Lifestyle, comfort and beauty.
Colonel Rebel
The Little Man
14 pounds. The miniature wildcard — and the contrast to six Standards.
This house
Not stock dogs. This pack.
Hallway gates, brick kitchen, turf, the grooming table, the pup room. If a brand needs a pretty extra in a white studio, they have the wrong link.
When there are pups
Litters live here too. Whelping pens, play yards, chew-proof gear, and anything a mouthy eight-week-old can destroy. Same rule: if it fails the pup room, the video says so.
What we film
Four pillars. One pack.
Every collab sits in one of these. If your brief needs all four, we will pick a lead so the video has a spine.
Daily life
Turf, kitchen, stairs, crate room, grooming table. Content that looks like a home because it is one. Brands sit inside the life, not beside it.
Education
Bloat awareness, crate and gate safety, coat care, and honest gear talk. No vet claims. No miracle language. Useful, not preachy.
Storytelling
Southern household, seven poodles, one exhausted Momma. The joke is the chaos. The standard is the care. Brands that get both fit.
Gates & containment
Pressure gates, play yards, crate accessories, door straps. Six large dogs is the stress test.
Food & treats
Kibble toppers, chews, slow feeders, bowls. We film first reaction and whether it still gets stolen on day four.
Grooming
Brushes, dryers, towels, shampoo, clippers, tables. Coat that actually mats is the point.
Gear & home
Beds, mats, outdoor furniture, seat covers, leashes, cooling, travel. If it cannot survive the pack, it will not get a rave.
How a collab runs
Brief. Live-in. Film. Deliver.
We do not post the unboxing and call it a test. Durability items get days in the house first.
01
Brief
Send the form on this page or email. Product, talking points, must-says, must-nots, timeline, and how you want to use the video.
02
Fit check
Angela replies within two business days. If it is not a pack-safe or on-brand fit, we will say no cleanly rather than force a video.
03
Ship & live-in
Product ships to Vancleave, MS 39565. Durability items get a real use window (usually 5–10 days) before we call a verdict.
04
Film
One primary hook, pack-in-the-home B-roll, and a clear verdict. Caption and on-screen disclosure included. One revision on hook or caption.
05
Deliver
Posted to @royaldixiepoodles for organic collabs, or delivered as an MP4 for UGC-only. Spark code issued when licensed.
TikTok video
15–35 seconds, 9:16, native captions, first-frame hook, pack on camera.
Caption + disclosure
Brand handle tagged. FTC disclosure first in caption. On-screen #ad for 3+ seconds.
Spark code
Issued only for a dated paid window: 30 days $75, 60 days $125, 365 days $250. A sample post is not a Spark license.
Still frame
One cover still pulled from the video for your briefing deck, if requested.
Packages
Starting points, not a menu carved in stone.
Pick a shape. Usage, Spark, and paid-ad rights are scoped on the brief. Figures below are starting fees in USD. Spark is never assumed.

Spark Ads
A posted video is not a paid-ads license.
A sample, a Shop tag, or an organic post does not include Spark. We generate a code only after the window is in writing. The Series includes one 30-day code. Everything else is this ladder. When the dates end, the code ends. Paid ads on other platforms are still the +30% add-on, not Spark.

- $75
- 60 days
- $125
- 365 days

Quote sketch
Scope it before you email
Starting figures, not a contract. Angela confirms the fee on the brief — usage and Spark change the number.
Starting at
$250
- Base $250
Paid ads, exclusivity, and perpetual rights are quoted after the brief. Not a binding rate card.
Paid jobs use the Creator Collaboration Agreement. The rate card is this page. The paper is the license.
House rules
We will. We will not.
Send this page with the brief. It saves a week of emails.
Angela will
- Film the product in a real six-dog household.
- Say the true verdict, including cons.
- Disclose paid or gifted relationships on-screen and in caption.
- Tag the brand and use the talking points we agreed.
- Give one revision on hook or caption.
- Keep music inside TikTok’s commercial library, or use audio you clear.
Angela will not
- Fake a rave if the pack destroys it, ignores it, or it fails safety.
- Make health, vet, or ‘cures bloat’ claims.
- Hide a material connection. No buried #ad.
- Accept products that are unsafe for large dogs or chew-prone standards.
- Grant exclusive category lock without a retainer.
- Issue or extend a Spark code without a dated window in writing.
- Transfer copyright. Licenses are scoped, dated, and written.
Usage & FTC
The license is written. The disclosure is not optional.
Copyright stays with Royal Dixie. You buy a window, platforms, and a yes/no on paid ads. Spark is not a substitute for that license.
Copyright stays with Royal Dixie
You get a written license, not the copyright. Tags, comments, and DMs are not a license.
Name the six terms
Every collab names platforms, duration, paid advertising yes/no, edits allowed, territory, and fee. If a term is missing, it is not granted.
Organic vs paid
Posted collabs include organic TikTok for the window in the package. Paid ads, whitelisting, and Spark are separate line items.
Spark Ads
Spark is a separate license. It is not included in a free sample, a Shop tag, or organic posting. We issue a code only for a window that is paid or already inside the package: 30 days $75, 60 days $125, 365 days $250. The Series includes one 30-day code. Spark runs the public post from our handle. It does not clear music, grant raw footage, or replace paid-ad rights on other platforms. When the window ends, use stops unless it is renewed in writing.
Edits and raw
Crops, subtitles, and cutdowns for the licensed platforms are fine when paid-ad or edit rights are in the brief. Full re-edits from raw are an add-on.
Music and faces
TikTok’s commercial library covers TikTok. Off-platform or paid use needs audio you own. No third-party people in frame without a release.
Disclosure copy we actually use
Paid collab caption
Ad. Paid partnership with @brand. Real-pack test in our six Standard Poodle house. Honest verdict below.
Gifted product caption
Gifted. @brand sent this for us to test. Not paid. Same rules: if it fails the pack, I say so.
On-screen
Hold #ad (or Gifted) on screen for at least 3 seconds, readable without tapping. Do not hide it in a hashtag pile.
