Taking pictures

[Ginger's Mom]

She is adorable. I couldn't make the second picture any bigger, but I did get the first on to open up. I agree with Welovespuppies, use words other than her name that will make her look attentive. Like "cookie". But if you use "cookie" I would give her a piece of cookie after the picture . Or you can use sounds that she is not used to hearing like whistling or saying "woopwoopwoop" ( , not that I make silly noises like that around my dog ). Just something to make her look attentive. However, having said all of that, most of the time Ginger's ears are down, too. So maybe my advise isn't so good.

Thanks for the tips. I hadn't thought about using something other than her name. I also attached a different pic w/her "poor puppy" look. What a face!

I usually hold a treat in my hand and tell my dogs sit, stand, or lay down depending on how I want the picture. Their ears usually go up if I have a treat.

OMGoodness, she reminds me so much of Bailey in that second picture. I think I am going to have to send this link to PJ's mom (also Bailey's mom). She is so sweet looking.
