We do not accept pets that are aggressive to humans
Before your booking.
Please arrive 5 minutes early for your appointment.
Please ensure your dog arrives to the studio on leash
Does your pet react aggressively to other animals, particular environments or other? Please contact us prior to your appointment to ensure we make adjustments to keep your pet as comfortable as possible during their photo session.
If another photo session is still in practice when you arrive we kindly ask you wait out of view of the studio to reduce distractions for the other family
During your booking.
The whole family is welcome in the Christmas photo, your session isn’t limited to just your pets
Please keep your pet on leash and secure at all times unless advised to do otherwise
Any new environment can be a little bit unsettling or stressful for some pets. Here at Santa Paws we endeavour to make your best friends feel safe and stress free while in the studio
If your pet starts demonstrating any signs of distress we ask that you only use positive reinforcement and encouragement with your pet.
We do not endorse ‘forcing’ any pets into situations they are distressed in, or negative reinforcement.
