I've photographed over three hundred dogs over the past year. Thusly, I have identified certain doggie behavioral patterns that photographers might want to hear about. http://goo.gl/d03J1

Exceptional work with dogs both technically and artistically. Many of those poses beg for greeting card captions. Your patience with the subjects is awesome.

I used to work on a ton of dog shoots for different dog food brands ( worked with "Lassie" once for gravy train)
Once, we were to shoot a dog running to a bowl of food and rented ASCOR strobes because they were the best thing
for freezing action. Well, they strobe were so LOUD that all the dogs brought in for the shoot were spooked and we
had to use plain old speedotron strobes and try and freeze the action as much as we could.
IF any of the dogs were panting on set the dog wrangler would give them peanut butter on the roof of their mouths
and that kept the tongue in for a while...

It can be difficult to work with animals (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDqyCbaEoZ0).

Peanut butter has gotten me through more than a dozen doggie shoots. It's a panacea for unruly canines.
