Every year families head to local Pet stores, vet clinics and shopping centres to get Christmas photos. That’s all well and good if you have a dog who is comfortable with unknown people, dogs and new places!

But what about our complicated dogs who are not? The ones that make up a large portion of my Polite Paws Family!! Owned by amazing families who would love to get a Christmas photo, but know it’s beyond what their dog can handle comfortably.
Last year at Polite Paws Paradise we offered an anxious and reactive dog friendly Christmas photo experience! It completely booked out last year, so we have started a bit earlier this weekend so nobody will miss out. See the setup for this year and some of the lovely photos we captured last year!
You will arrive at a booked time on our property, go for a short private bushwalk or private yard run before your photos to relax your dog. In the fenced photo yard there will be some doggy treats to help you settle your dog and accessories to have fun with. You will have 10 minutes with the photographer to get as many cute photos as we can. You will receive a minimum of 5 print quality digital photos emailed to you, but last year most ended up with 10 to 20! And your doggy will get a chew for the drive home.
If you are interested book in ASAP, as slots will fill fast once word gets out!
