Cats and Dogs are smart - really smart!
Your cat or dog will happily pose for photos when its tiny - because
everything is a game then.The best time to photograph a new puppy or
kitten is when you first introduce them to your garden or home - that
way EVERYTHING is exciting and new and its a voyage of exploration for
them.
So for the best photos of your pet start early - and ALWAYS have your
camera to hand for the best photos.
Make sure you have a spare memory card too - you will take LOTS of
photos!
When kittens and puppies are really tiny, its fun to take pictures as
they explore the world about them - and they are still small enough to
get inside wellingtons and big shoes . I do not quite suggest dressing
your pet up (that is a bit 1950s) but dogs particularly like a red
bandana round their collar. Play with your puppy/kitten - use balls of
wool on a string, fluffy toys,or just a plain old red ball (but not a
tennis ball - they can quickly tear those apart and choke on them )
Its a lot easier if there are two of you - one to hold things out of
reach and to feed tit-bits while the other one photographs the pets.
Some of the best pictures are to be had when the baby animal is still
with its mother and siblings. Get yourself a training clicker from the
pet shop and this will quickly grab their attention.Have a supply of
small treats (NOT chocolate -its bad for animals) to keep them
interested....
