When she was younger we just waited till she was tired to take come of our best pictures. Good luck! |
I use both methods. There are also key words that always get him to do the head tilt. Those are greenie, boobies, (pervy dog!) chicken, banana, hungry, and "quieres comer?" (do you want to eat?)
sometimes, I just talk to him and he'll look at me and be focused.
