How to train dogs to adopt graceful postures? It is estimated that many dog owners take their little dogs out for photos and souvenirs when they go out. But as a dog owner, do you know how to make your little dog pose nicely for a photo?
1、 How to get your dog in a proper position
1. Firstly, lift the dog to a high place, such as a stone or a table. Then bring its hind legs close to the edge of the small table or stone, release its hands. Usually, at this time, the little dog’s limbs become weak and wants to lie down because it is afraid of falling. A high position and relatively small area can make dogs a bit nervous, and most dogs are afraid to jump off. At first, I may feel a bit restless, standing still with my little feet and wanting you to pick it up. Then I will sit and wait for you to come and hug it. This is the best time for taking photos
Machine up
2. At this point, the dog owner should hold the front chest or chin of the puppy with one hand, and gently pull the tail of the puppy backwards with the other hand, allowing the puppy to start gradually posing. (Be careful not to only pull the tail hair to avoid causing pain)
3. Subsequently, the dog owner supported his chest with his hand and pushed it backwards, preventing the dog from sitting down.
4. When a dog realizes that its hind legs will lose support and it is about to step back, it instinctively tilts its body forward, lifts it up, rests its front limbs firmly, tightens its toes, and presents a standard posture of four limbs straight and holding its head high.
5. Don’t be idle, run ahead and take a photo of the dog! The dog’s posture won’t last long~
As long as this method is repeated multiple times, the dog will gradually learn. In the future, even if standing on flat ground, as long as we pull the dog’s tail and pull it backwards, the dog will reflexively adopt a standard graceful posture. At this time, dog owners should pay attention and not miss the opportunity to take photos of their dogs!
2、 Precautions when taking photos:
1. Using food and toys that dogs like
This trick is used to attract the dog’s attention and make it cooperate with your photography process. Food and toys always attract a dog’s attention, especially those with sound. When you make noise by shaking the toy, the dog not only focuses its gaze on the toy, but also makes movements such as tilting its head due to the sound, which can give the dog a strong sense of camera. Food is used to encourage dogs when they are a little impatient, and can also be used in conjunction with the camera to change the direction of their gaze.
2. Follow the dog’s instructions
As a living small animal, dogs also have their own thoughts and preferred positions. In certain positions, they feel more at ease and comfortable, and beautiful photos can be taken in such positions. Because dogs can lie quietly there, holding a small toy or having something they like piled up next to them, taking photos together will be more fun than just taking pictures of dogs. So it’s not necessary to move the dog to a beautiful position, and following its meaning may not necessarily be bad. This is a mat placed against the wall, which the dog likes very much and looks beautiful when photographed.
3. Play with the dog for a while first
For dogs with excessive energy, play with them for a while first. For example, throwing the toy out for it to pick up, or playing some games it likes, in short, letting it expend some energy, so that with the above move, it can be more easily photographed.
