Pet owners like to have photos of their pets, and Pug owners are no exception. Taking pictures of their Pug is something many Pug owners want to do, as they want to be able to share their cute pet with others. Their Pug can seem like a real part of their family, so having photos of them seems natural. But posing for the camera isn’t a natural thing for the Pug! It can be frustrating to try to control the Pug’s natural behavior, like their short attention span and curiosity about things.

Pugs happen to be particularly cute with their little size, wrinkled face, and soulful eyes, and so it seems natural to want to photograph them. They also have plenty of personality, like when they do clever things to try to get attention from their owners or others. It’s natural to want to take pictures of all the cuteness.

There are many tricks that can help when you are taking pictures of your Pug. If you are prepared and follow the suggestions below, you can get some great shots of your Pug.

There are some things to keep in mind as you shoot photos of your Pug. One of the most important is the time and place you try to take the shots. If you will be outside, early morning or late afternoon will give you the best light, and have your Pug in front of something dark (foliage works well) if they are light and light if they are black (even a homemade backdrop will work). Be down at the Pug’s level, not taking photos from above. And be in close, the better to hold his attention and get that primo shot with the cute expression on his face!

It is smart to have a helper on hand to be a second set of hands. You might want to have a squeaky toy or something else to catch his attention and get the light back into his eyes. Above all, be realistic about what your dog can handle. Some Pugs are content to sit and be photographed without a problem, but others can only take photo sessions in very small doses. You know your dog and can make the right choices.

It is understandable that owners would want to get great Pug pictures. Pugs have terrific personalities and it is wonderful when that personality shows through in photographs. If you remember to get close to your pet for the photo, and down at his level, you will be more successful at getting a photo you will like. Your Pug will stand out.

Be sure to put your pooch in front of the right coloring of background - a dark one for a light Pug, and a lighter one for a darker Pug - and not cluttered, but simple. You will probably want to have a helper on hand to entertain your Pug and keep him focused and alert while you’re running the camera.

If your Pug doesn’t do well with long photo sessions, keep them to a length your pup can handle, and have more than one if you need to. Work with the personality of your Pug, and you will have much better results.
