1. One hour before the shooting, exercise your dog more than usual. Better a croos training style, like swimming and running.
2. Feed your dog more than usual 30 mins before the shooting. Full belly will increase chances your dog will be lazy and, therefore, more relaxed at the shooting location.
3. Bring plenty of treats.
4. Place your dog in the shooting area and tell him to sit.
5. Spend like 10-15 mins sitting next to him to make sure he familiarizes with the location.
6. When the shooting starts, stand behind the photographer and tell your dog what to do. It’s very important that he looks in the direction of the camera.
7. Every time he obeys, give him a treat.
8. If the dog moves around and doesn’t want to stay on the same spot, be patient. Eventually, he will get tired and give up.
9. After 30-45 mins, your dog will get very tired and most likely he will surrender. This is a good moment to make him wear ridiculous outfits as there are more chances he will passively accept them.
