Pet Photography That Celebrates Your Best Friend
Why We Photograph Dogs
At Paws IQ, we don’t just train the dogs. We live alongside them, learn their patterns, understand them, and witness who they become when they feel safe, structured, and centered.
Photography gives us a way to capture that transformation every stage along the way.
Whether it’s during:
- A Board + Train
- A Pack Hike
- A Training Session
- Or a Privately Scheduled Photo Session
We aim to preserve the moment when your dog’s confidence, curiosity, and natural cadence click into place.

Why Paws IQ Photography Feels Different
Most of our photography happens as an add-on to existing training, because the best photos come when:
- The dog is relaxed and regulated
- Their personality is unobstructed by stress
- Their posture reflects confidence and clarity
- Their eyes are soft, alert, and engaged
- The environment is native to their nervous system
Because we work with your dog first, the camera becomes an extension of the relationship & training, rather than just a distraction.
Michael photographs a dog after reading their psychology, not before.
He captures:
Attentiveness
Playfulness
Softness
Confidence
Curiosity
The “moment of regulation”
The way a dog holds themselves when they feel connected
