Vladin: If only I could get my little pup to stay still long enough for my own memories!
I had trouble with my little Shi Tzu that way. I would put him on a table so he'd not run off or try to lick the lens before I could get the shot, but he just wouldn't look alert and himself in front of the camera. After about a year or so I discovered he was afraid of heights!
Then I started putting him on the floor in a little cart similar to the one above. It works well! He likes it (and especially the cookie pieces I give him!) and cooperates better now!
