It's true....most of my dog models work for food. Most of them work for toys too. Dax here was more than willing to do whatever we asked of him as long as a treat or his favorite frisbee was involved. Of course, there's a fine line between an incentive and teasing. They can get pretty cranky if you don't actually give them the treat you've been dangling in front of them while shooting frame after frame. Actually, Dax barks on command. That's what he's doing here, not growling or showing his teeth. He was amply rewarded for his cooperation. I have no idea what was up with all the drool. He normally has better manners than that. More photos of Dax to follow in a few days. |
