Take pictures by getting down to the dog’s level. You will get breathtakingly beautiful pictures if they’re snapped at the same level as the dog’s height!

3. Treats or Toys

Want to grab the dog’s attention? Offer them a squeaky toy or their favorite treat and see the magic of their attentiveness! If a dog is happy, he’ll even smile for the camera.

4. Motion

Move that squeaky toy around the camera lens to get the dog moving! So if you wish to capture motion, this is the best way to do it!
