My pretty new girl, Missy, is terrified of the camera!!! As soon as she sees me coming with it, she starts avoiding me. The only way I can get a picture of her is to sneak it! She is so beautiful, and I want pics of her .... I think it is probably the flash, but now even without it, she associates the camera with fear. Any one else have a camera shy pup? What do you do?

I was able to kind of hold her down to get my siggie pic!
Amber is exactly the same and I think you are right that it's something to do with the flash.

My camera has a start up noise so you can bet your bottom dollar that as soon as Amber hears it, she's off!

What I do is turn the camera on and leave it lying around for a while and ignore Amber. Eventually she relaxes enough to be able to take a picture.
