In this Snoot School, we look at how you could train a dog to look at a target, from the beginning steps, to increasing independence. This trick could come in handy to get dogs to look at the camera, or to look somewhere else if you’re by yourself and need them to look to one side.

As with all training, don’t rush, work on this over multiple sessions, build up understanding and independence and make sure the dog is confident in what’s being asked of it before taking it outside and using it as part of your photo sessions.
