CLIENT EXPERIENCES
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
In order to confirm your appointment we require your session fee payment within 24 hours. You will then be sent a contract and questionnaire to help us get to know you and your pup a little more! The questionnaire is also where you’ll have the opportunity to select your background colours.
-
Not a problem! We emphasize the importance of letting dogs be dogs and simply take some shots along the way. Action shots are often the best moment to capture as they really show off your pet’s personality and spirit!
-
We take our time at the beginning for your pup to sniff around, get used to the space and slowly introduce them to the equipment. We always make sure both you and your dog are comfortable at all times!
-
Our studio is in a safe, private, and enclosed space. We leave enough time between clients to make sure no other dogs are present at the site. Safety and comfort is our number one priority.
-
If you get your dog groomed, I suggest timing the shoot at your favourite part of their fluffiness stage. Not freshly groomed, but we also want to see their beautiful eyes and faces!
For highly energetic dogs, I suggest a long walk or play session beforehand if possible. This usually helps them focus during our shoot.
Since food motivation is our primary method for capturing and rewarding your dog’s attention, I suggest feeding them a little less the day of the session. Your dog will get plenty of treats during our shoot!!
-
We have a variety of different colours to choose from. Colour options are included in the Questionnaire that is sent out after booking. You may choose up to two background colours.
-
We have plenty of treats and toys at the studio. We use mainly freeze-dried, pure beef liver treats and peanut butter. Please feel free to bring your own if your dog has a favourite or digestive issues.
Bring along any of their favourite toys, balls or any props (hats, glasses, bandanas etc.) you’d like included! We also have a great selection at our studio.
Or naked is always a good option!
