Lots of great advice. Someone should mention the obvious- get low. Most times
the shots will look nicer from the dog's level. And make sure the background
is uncluttered and not distracting. better yet- make the background
unrecognizable. The pup should dominate the shot. It's too easy for something
like, say,
piano legs visible in the corner to distract and give you a sense of scale
that you don't want to get.
I'd also add that the hot dog bits are a great way to keep the pooch
interested and with an alert look in his eyes. You can substitute small broken
pieces
of dog biscuits. I don't know what's in those, but my dog shakes and salivates
whenever I just mention them. He'd do anything just to get one. Maybe they
should be analyzed to see if there's small amounts of cocaine or some other
addictive drug in there.
