Camera Distractions

Turn off any camera noises that may be distracting to your pug. Many digital cameras emulate shutter sounds and other camera noises. These noises may distract your pug.

Blurring

“Blue Eye”

2006-07-24T04:01:00Z

Don’t Get Frustrated

2006-07-23T04:01:01Z

Pugs don’t always want to pose for the camera. If your pug is distracted or more interested in other things take a break and take pictures at a later time when your pug is more cooperative.

Familiar Setting

2006-07-22T04:01:00Z

Take pictures of your pug in places where he or she has been before and is comfortable and not distracted. Your pug will be more relaxed and you will be able to capture better photos.
