One of the most frequent comments I get from people regarding my animal photography is "my dog won't sit still. I could never have a photo session with him." I promise you that I have worked with all different types of dogs. I have worked with shelter dogs for a more than 6 years and have encountered dogs that are rambunctious, hyper and untrained dogs all the time. In addition, I have worked with dogs that are fearful of the camera and had successful images with all.
These tips are for those of you that would love to get a photo with your reactive dog, but don't know how to achieve it. These are tips you can work on with your dog, but when scheduling our consultation, this is one of the important things to discuss with me as I can tailor the session specifically in ways that will lessen the chances of your dog being triggered.
We already had a heat wave and it is only June. I wonder what the dog days of summer will have in store for us? For our furry friends, that extra layer of fur will have them finding shady places to lay and relax. I decided to whip my dog a couple of healthy and tasty treats. One will help keep him cool, while the other is a nice little chew for anytime.
