So how do you get a dog to pose?

Iain says, “There’s no real trick to it; every single dog is different. Some of them are extremely hyper and impossible to take a photo of.

“Some of them will literally just sit and stare at the camera — they’re the best ones. Sometimes it’s just a click of the finger and waving my hand around to get the dog’s attention. Also, the sound of the camera click kind of gets their attention. So, once I’ve taken the first photo, they stare at the camera. It’s great!

“What I love most about dogs is the unconditional love and happiness that they show to just anybody. They don’t judge who you are; they’re always super happy to see people. They look so adorable, they’re so funny!”
