Beyond the Backyard with Moose

In my last two posts, I shared that I’ve been training my dogs to be off-leash, and how having well trained off-leash dogs will allow me to take photos of them in a variety of places and backgrounds.

I’ve had Moose since he was eight weeks old and he has been continuously enrolled in a training program since his arrival. He still has a lot to learn, but because of this training so early in his development, he is a very obedient dog. He’s also still small enough for me to pick up which makes controlling him much easier than it is with my full grown dogs.

As a curious puppy, the challenge of photographing him lies in having him be still long enough to capture a good shot. I managed to do that today after several tries. This is the first shot of him away from the house, and I love seeing him in a natural background.

Rocky and Ringo also turned out beautiful portraits today, so be sure to check them out.
