How Can I Get My Dog To Be Still For A Picture?

The last picture I took of her, she wouldn't look at the camera. I think it's hard to get a good picture of any animal, myself. I was lucky that Cyrus, my horse, stood still for this picture I took of him in my avatar. Sometimes I think animals are like humans,. They will do anything to avoid the camera, LOL! Kathy.

I'm pretty good with the camera but I still have a lot to learn about my scanner and posting pictures on here. A lot of times when I have the camera ready to take Prissy, my dog's, picture, she will turn her head or like I said in my discussion, she will run and hide somewhere. I think it's hard to get any animal to be still for a picture. I was lucky that Cyrus, my horse, would be still for the picture I made of him in my avatar. I made this picture with my cell phone and somebody told me at at&t wireless how to upload it from my cell phone to my computer. On here, it looks blurry, but on the cell phone, it's very clear. I don't understand that. Sometimes I think animals are like people. They hate having their picture made, lol! Kathy.

I see

That's what another mylotter suggested. I might try this but it might wake her up, too. She has awaken whenever I approached her while sleeping.

Thank you for your suggestion. I can try this but I'm not sure if it will work. If she sees me with the camera, off she goes! You're absolutley right! It's not easy to get a JRT tired! She does sleep a lot when she's in the house, I might try to catch her when she's asleep! Btw, I'm sorry I'm just now getting around to responding to your response. It never did show up in my email and I thought I would check my discussion to see if I got any more responses to it lately and I saw yours. Thank you for responding. Kathy.

Thank you, drannhh! These are ideas. I have neighbors but we're not really that close, if you know what I mean. I just hope she won't wake up if I try to get a picture while she's sleeping. I guess the reason why I never thought to get a picture of her while she was eating is because I always wanted her to look at the camera. I will try these, anyway. Kathy.

Some of us, People and animals alike are such Hams for it too. I hope it goes well for you, if not, next time I am in the area I will help. Could be a while though. Takes time to get my finances straight lately. With appreciation.

I know what you mean about finances. I have trouble getting mine straight sometimes, too. Kathy.

Thank you for responding, CJ! This might help. It wouldn't hurt to try it, anyway. Sometimes I think animals are like humans. They hate having their picture made and they will do anything to avoid the camera, lol! I think it's hard to get a good picture of any animal, myself. I was lucky that my horse, Cyrus, stood still for this picture I have of him in my avatar. I will try giving her a treat and let you know if this works. Have a Happy Easter. Kathy.

Hi pergammano! It's good to see you back on mylot! How are you doing these days? Please know that I have been praying for you. Some of the other mylotters have been telling me they have the same trouble getting their pets to be still for a picture, too, so I don't guess it's just a JRT thing. My dog sleeps a lot when she's in the house. Other than that, she is very hyper. I can't help but wonder if she might be afraid of the camera?
