Training and Photography

 Like it or not, my dogs behave the way that I have trained them to behave. If they show a behavior that I do not like, it is my responsibility to train the correct behavior.  Failure to do so reinforces that the bad behavior is acceptable.

It takes a lot of time and effort. Reinforce all desired behaviors that a dog offers so that he will offer them again. Ignore all undesired behavior that is offered by the dog so that he will not offer them again. There will be a time when undesired behavior must be prevented and redirected to a desired behavior. At this time the desired behavior gets rewarded.

 Engagement!  If your dog is engaged with you and is interested in what will happen next, they make great photographic subjects.  What are you doing? Did you say treat? What was the squeaky sound?
