We all like to spend time with our families eating food, and enjoying ourselves at Christmas. No matter where we are, deep inside us we all want to have perfect holiday photos with our loved ones and pets. However far from pets being well-behaved there are some pets whose mission is to mess up their parent’s portraits and create photo fails.
Therefore we at Anomalous decided to bring you a collection of 39 Christmas Photos that were messed up by dogs. Grab a drink and get ready to start scrolling. Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below.
Regardless of the subject of your photograph, there are some basic photographic rules that never change. A lot of us agree that natural light looks better and we all know that it’s barely hard to get the best shot on the first try. So don’t hesitate to re-take your photos if your pet ever tries to ruin them.
Karen Weiler, a Toronto-based photographer has shared some important tips to consider when taking photos with dogs. According to her you should hold toys or treats over the camera lens if you want your dogs to focus on the photos. You can also make a sound to grab their attention.
“As a professional dog photographer, my secret weapon is that I can make the highest pitched sounds you can imagine—sounds that always elicit laughter from the humans and the crowd-pleasing favorite, the head-tilt, from the dog.” Read on to know more about her thoughts on taking well-mannered photos with dogs.

Weiler says that the secret to taking great photos is to make it fun and let your dog get valuable rewards.
” Now, these can actually be different depending on each individual dog. But the rewards are worth their value in gold if it means that your dog will be well-mannered on the big day of the important photo shoot.
“What motivates your dog? If it is treated, get the best tasting treats you can find and use these to reward your dog for good behavior. Even better if you can do a little training each day before you require a certain behavior. You’ll be so much happier with the result on the big day, and your dog will thank you for all of the opportunities to earn tasty treats!” says Weiler.

” What we call a dog smile is actually a relaxed mouth, usually with a bit of their tongue hanging out. It is different from the very stressed, tense closed mouth and the opposite which is the long, dangling tongue hanging out of the mouth,” Weiler, the pet photographer, explained.
“So, the dog smile occurs when the pup is relaxed, happy, and confident. It goes without saying not to put your dog in situations that make them nervous or uncertain. At this time of year, that can mean prickly tree branches, rustling paper, and please, do not wrap them up in lights. Wait them out. Sometimes, dogs will really focus on you if you are asking for a certain behavior, for example ’sit,’ and watch you intently with a closed mouth. Just pause for a bit and you might find that they will relax and that little smile will show itself,” the photographer said.
