The High 5 techniqueHow to teach your dog to take a selfie



  • Teach your dog to high 5!

  • Get your dog to look straight into the camera. Treats just above the camera usually do the trick! Don't get your tail in a knot if they wont look straight into the camera. Some of the best selfies have the "looking over the horizon" look.

  • Ask your dog to high 5, making sure their arm is stretched out and the paw is out of the frame.

  • Click away and you'll have a selfie star in the making! Remember practice makes paw-fect!

    Put your phone inside a ziplock bag and place a smear of peanut butter over the screen. Put your phone up against a wall and let Fido touch the screen with their nose. Remember to praise each time they touch their nose to the screen.

  • After they get the hang of it, lose the peanut butter and the ziplock bag. Hold your phone and when they give it a nose tap or lick praise them with affection and treats! To make it easier for your dog to take a selfie you can download Touch Cam - a free app which turns the entire screen into a shutter button.

  • Let your pup create those paw-some selfies!
