I think it depends on the dog and whether you have had them since a puppy or not.
I have had Tara since a puppy, and I just tell her to stay stay, and she stays just as she is at that moment until I take the pic....BLISS !
My other two, Casper and Tammy who I got when much older are a nightmare !
Casper just hates the camera, and puts his ears flat - and he usually has nice foxy ears, but you never get them - and he cowers and hides and goes in a huff the minute the camera comes out !
Tammy is too hyper ! She keeps closing her eyes as well !
The best way to get pics of them,
is to get them unawares....that's how I got Casper smiling teethies, which he constantly does, but not for the camera if he knows it's there !
I have the same problem with Tammy trying to get a pic of her smiling her teethy smiles too ! I haven't managed yet !
I also use toys and biscuits - hubby holds them high behind my head and calls their names !
