My dog & family photography business Yellow Lab is 7! so I’m sharing lessons I've learned

Training is always a good idea
Take time on your walks for random stops
You’re happiest when you surround yourself with friends
Genuine joy is contagious
A walk is better when shared
There’s always time for a power nap
Soak up the love a cuddly dog wants to give you
Tax. Not as fun to pay as the cheese tax but just as necessary
Playtime is essential. Schedule it
Be present in the moment
It’s important to be calm & patient
Dog hair is my glitter
It’s a good idea to be nicely groomed
You’ll never regret learning something new
Making Squeaky sounds to get a dogs attention only works for a short time
Saying their name in a really low voice will get them to look
Don’t get a fright when you bark at a dog and it barks back
High fives are awesome
It’s important to adapt and be flexible. Dogs don’t follow a script. the best moments happen spontaneously
The perfect shot comes from unexpected angles
A dogs wagging tail and excited greeting makes everything better
Working with dogs is a constant reminder of the beauty and happiness animals bring into our lives
