Video Tips

• Two people are required.  One to video and the other holding the lead and dog

• Use your phone or tablet

• Use the landscape setting

• Keep the videos to max of 30 seconds​ each

• Keep the phone/tablet steady

• Ensure you are in a well-lit area – avoid shady spots

• Video from around 3 meters back - or slightly closer if you're dog is small breed

• Please ensure you are filming the whole of the dog – not cutting off their feet or heads.

  • Avoid filming looking down at your dog

  • If your dog is small, suggest getting lower down to their level.  

  • Please see examples below 👇

• When filming the dog walking away from you, ensure we can see the whole/top of the dog's back.

• Avoid busy areas where your dog is distracted.  Perhaps your back garden or a quiet field.

• Avoid footage of your dog in long grass or anything that will block the view of their paws.

• Choose flat ground – if you notice your dog struggles on some surfaces (ie tarmac, stones) but better on others (ie grass), please film both surfaces so we can compare.

👇 Below are examples of ideal videos. 👇 Please only provide "running" video if your dog is able - do not force.

Dog Tips

• Suggest filming after you have walked your dog for a few minutes – so they’re not overly excited

• Keep your dog on a LOOSE lead and collar 

  • If you use a harness, please remove for the purpose of videoing 

• Avoid your dog jumping up

• Avoid your dog looking up at you – ideally looking forward 

• Please have your dog at walk and trot pace.
