The Use of Sound Effects to Get Dogs to Pose

     Acting like a human being is something a dog rarely does not do at the most inconvenient times. Not only dog owners believe that their pets are almost human that every intelligent canine worthy of love and care feels such emotions as embarrassment, annoyance, irritation, and is startled by certain sights and sounds. And it is because of this understanding of dogs' moods, likes, and dislikes that animal portraits can be made possible.

Refusal to have his picture taken could be indicated by his baring at the wrong instant, the wagging of his tail, or the refusal to prick up his ears. He could make work harder fort the portrait artist by deciding to be stubborn during the shoot. It's advisable to catch the dog's attention with a noise rather than a smell to keep him startled and still on just one pose. When a dog gets a whiff of a scent, it would usually extend its neck and create an undesirable pose, but when a dog is startled mildly, it would stand straight and prick up its ears.

The best time to get your dog's picture taken is when he is bright and alert, which happens early in the morning. Dogs who are hungry are more alert and can do the poses immediately. It is cooler in the morning, so the dog feels cool as well and will not pant as much as when it has already played later on in the day. Dogs that don't really look good on portraits are tired dogs, as well as dogs with mouths hanging open, except for German Shepherds and Saint Bernards.

It is because of one detail that you can say that dog photographers' studios and the studios of radio broadcasting stations share something in common. A vast number of sound effects is there, ready to be used in case one sound effect fails to attract the desired attention. Available sounds include mouse squeaks and duck quacks.

A breeder wants that when he inspects the proofs of the dog's portraits, he will see only a dog with perfect form and grooming. Dog photographers know that there is a difference between the sketcher's work and the photographs of canine portraits. In drawing a picture, the artist makes an effort to show only what he can see and not what he knows is also there. For dog photographers, capturing what is not easily seen is what they must do.

Magnify a daschund's length. When having their pictures taken, most breeds look best with all four feet placed firmly on the ground with their bodies tilted at a slight angle. The German boxer is the most complicated case out of all the breeds. An unfriendly nature takes over this dog when he is around other dogs.

It is often forgotten by amateur photographers that hungry dogs are easiest to photograph. They proceed to stuff their dogs before or during the process of photographing them and naturally enough have lazy, disinterested subjects. The alert dog assumes his stance without difficulty.

Photographers prefer the absence of the breeder while they are fixing the dog's pose. Dog owners can make a big fuss about a lot of things regarding their dogs, and it is for this reason that they do this. A dog would be too familiar with what its master does to get his attention. This would be a different matter if various sound effects were used since this would bring out the desired reaction from the animal.
