1.- Wait until your dog's dinner time, when she's attentive and hungry, to give her a tiny very tasty treat.At the same time say something like "smile" or "say cheese" or "ears up"
2.- Repeat several times, and then serve her dinner.
3.- Sometimes say the phrase when your dog is some distance from you, and toss the treat to her. This will train her that she doesn't need to come to you to get the treat. If you are taking multiple photos, you will want her to stay some distance from you. This training will prevent her from moving towards you when she hears the phrase.
4.- Repeat. Your dog will soon associate this phrase with the treat. Do this frequently. Say the phrase every time you give the dog a good treat. Encourage other family members to use the same phrase when giving treats.
5.- Plan ahead. Before you are going to take the photo, get the camera ready and just before the camera shutter is going to "go off", say the phrase. Almost every dog will look right at you and put her ears up, and you'll get a great picture.
