We travel to create unique experiences and memories, so the best photos you can take are those that evoke that special experience. When travelling with your dog, their perspective, exploits and reactions are a priceless way of capturing great travel moments, so that you can relive them and the whole trip with pleasure in years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a tip from a photographer – be prepawed for anything from super-exciting to quiet situations to produce a unique, fun or memorable photo. With this in mind, here are some ideas for where and how you can include your dogs in your photos when travelling together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Packing with Pooches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not a big fan of packing. All that decision making about what may or may not be essential on a trip\u2026 and trying to squeeze it in, amongst a bunch of other to-do\u2019s before heading off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like it or loathe it, packing for a holiday represents a golden oppawtunity for catching a moment unique to you and your dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"dogs<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For example, in our house Keiko and Summer won’t leave our side once the suitcases appear. It\u2019s the ultimate “Don’t forget us!” photo of jumping in or on our cases or the items we have set out to pack.  Nothing like the little addition of some white fluff to clean clothes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do your dogs do when they hear the hatch opening for you to get down the cases? How much extra do you have to pack for your furry companions? Be sure to capture those pre-trip prepawrations as the first step on your journey together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our dogs also have their own individual travel cases\u2026 Cute or what!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Travel-dogue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How does your dog like to travel: Curled up fast asleep on the backseat or nose pressed to the window scenting the changing air? Where do you stop enroute? What\u2019s their reaction when you stop for a break?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember the journey is in itself an experience for the dog, and recording their experiences and reactions is often overlooked. Be sure to include the day trips, adventures and walkies you have on holiday.  And also don\u2019t forget the little places that you stop for a meal, a leg stretch or a quick visit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Woof-tastic or Snuggle-icious?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What about when you\u2019ve arrived at your destination?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you heading somewhere super luxurious or camping close to nature?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the exuberant excitement of seeing snow for the first time to curling up in front of a real fire, there are a myriad of different doggie moods right there at your accommodation. Capture their reaction when you arrive, whether it’s doggie yoga stretches as they wake up from the car ride or dancing around with excitement to be let loose and explore…because each place is different and unique, especially to your dog.  Take photos of them in the spot that they make theirs in the accommodation.  And if there happens to be a nice garden or surrounds then be sure to use that in some photos as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Iconic Location + Waggy Dog = Super Special Picture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some places are instantly recognizable such as Sydney Harbour Bridge or the Big Banana. Indeed, in ‘Why You and Your Dog Need to Star in your Travel Photos<\/a>‘ we covered how a canine companion can lift a well-known scene out of the ordinary cut-and-paste category and into something unique to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, it’s a whole load of fun to pose your pooch besides something iconic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also don’t forget to take a doggie photo of the road sign at your destination (or if you’re really lucky, a sign that incorporates your dog’s name). This is a great way to let friends and family know where you are and recording where you went for the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need further inspiration, then don’t overlook spots of special significance to animals, such as the Dog on the Tuckerbox at Gundagai, or the Red Dog statue in the Pilbara (which are on our to-see list for our Dog Tales of Australia<\/a> roadtrip)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Say “Woof!”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Travelling with dogs is all about sharing the experience so don’t forget to step out from behind the camera and be included with your dog in the photos you\u2019re taking. The simplest way is to ask a fellow traveller if they’d mind taking the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
