We’ve all seen the Instagram accounts for people’s pets, but let’s face it, the dog accounts are generally more popular—and who doesn’t love seeing regular updates about a super cute dog and his/her antics? Everyone is hitting the craze at the moment, and some accounts are more popular than others. Ever wondered why?
There is actually more work than you think that goes into making the perfect pooch account for Instagram. We’re going to give you some tips on how you can make your doggo Instagram famous!
First, we should look at why people create accounts for their dogs. For some, it’s simply to create a montage of all of the amazing moments they share with their furry friend. For others, it serves as a means of financial sustenance.
Believe it or not, many of these top Instagram accounts for dogs have contracts with large companies. They make a decent living from these contracts. This is because of their viewership. Companies can advertise through these accounts. They pay the account owners very nice amounts of money.
Get a decent camera
We live in an age where poor camera quality is just not tolerated anymore. Most phones and tablets come with exceptional camera quality, both front and back. However, if you really want to elevate your photography, it’s a good idea to invest in a decent camera to capture shots of your dog. Trust us; your fans will appreciate it!
Could you make sure they’re well-behaved?
While we’re sure that your dog is a good boy, we all know that they can be mischievous from time to time. To make your life (and your dog’s job) easier during shoots, it might be a good idea to train them so that they’re not running off halfway through snapping them.
Having your pooch trained is always a good idea. It prevents owner and dog frustration. It also helps create a lifelong bond between you, regardless of whether you’re going to make an Instagram account for them.
If you’re unsure how to train your dog, consider pet boarding. This way, you can be assured that the training is done correctly.
Give your dog a regular makeover.
Nobody likes to see a dirty and ungroomed dog (unless, of course, you catch them rolling in a puddle!), so it’s essential to make sure that your pup gets a regular makeover. Have their fur trimmed and keep them clean so they look their best in their snaps.
Consider buying them outfits.
Who doesn’t find joy in seeing a cute dog? You can buy them a collar with a tie. Alternatively, you might be looking to buy them complete outfits to wow your fans. If you choose to do this, you will definitely hit the hearts of thousands.
Many people choose hats and collars for their dogs. They have large collections of dog clothing. This allows them to keep mixing up their dog’s attire in each photo!
Use more than one location for your shoots.
Finally, people will quickly get bored of seeing your dog running around your living room or garden. So, it’s essential to have plenty of locations lined up for your pooch to explore.
Look into dog-friendly attractions and see if you can snap some pictures that other accounts wouldn’t usually think of!
We know you already think your pup is fantastic—and they are! Use these tips to make your dog into a mini-celebrity, whether you choose to do it for fame or simply to make memories with your dog!
