Your Dog Doesn’t Have to Be Trained for a Photoshoot—Here’s Why

Happy dog playing with a ball – capturing playful, untrained dogs in natural pet photography sessions in Gilbert, AZ

Worried that your dog won’t sit still or follow commands during a photoshoot?

Good news—you don’t need a perfectly trained dog to get incredible photos!

At FurrHaus, I photograph real dogs

—the excited ones, the wiggly ones, the ones who do the exact opposite of what you ask. And that’s totally fine! We work with them as they are, not against them. Here’s how:

I Only Need a Split Second

Your dog doesn’t have to sit still for an hour—I’m capturing split-second moments. A quick glance, a head tilt, that goofy tongue-out face? That’s all I need to create an incredible shot.

Treats Make Everything Easier

I always have treats on hand to grab attention, create focus, and keep things fun. A well-timed snack works wonders, whether it’s getting eye contact, a cute head tilt, or just rewarding them for being adorable.

Movement is Part of the Magic

Some of the best shots happen while your dog is moving. Whether they’re bouncing around, stretching, or shaking off, I’m photographing the entire time. Those in-between moments? That’s where the magic happens.

We Go at Their Pace

Some dogs need time to sniff, explore, and settle in. That’s totally normal, and I give them the time they need. There’s no rush, no pressure—just a calm, relaxed session where they can be themselves.

No Training Required—Just Personality

Your dog doesn’t need to know commands or hold a pose—they just need to be themselves. I know how to work with every type of dog, from wild puppies to independent seniors, to capture images you’ll love.

Your Dog is Perfect, Just as They Are

If you’ve been holding off on booking a session because you think your dog won’t cooperate, don’t stress! The best photos come from letting them be themselves—and that’s exactly what I do.
