Once trained, tell him when to bark, this will give you the perfect shots with a voice that fits his personality and a good edit and you will have your new youtube star ready to share his day to day life.
Also if your dog is talkative by nature, you can make videos where you actually teach him words and he tries to imitate the sounds you are making, this will show how outgoing and intelligent he is and will gain a lot of sympathy from your subscribers for his obedience and charisma.
You can also interact with your audience by asking them what words they would like you to teach your dog, which will create a nice bond between you, your dog and your audience.
Use tools to help your dog communicate with you
In the market there are different tools that help improve communication with pets, such as keyboards or boards where each button corresponds to a word, as well as apps that react to the type of barking of your pet.
You can create a mini youtube series where you show the process of teaching him to use it, once used it will be fun to see how your dog presses buttons expecting to get things in return, like games or treats, and also how he refuses to take a bath through these buttons and signals.
2. Dog Narrative Story Videos

Get to know your dog: know their behavior, their facial expressions, their movements, and when they make these gestures or postures. If you master these situations you will get a great video and easier to edit!
Define what video you will make: Before making the first scene, it is important that you want and know what your pet has to offer to the cameras. Remember that you will make a product like any other and you will have to be a creative manager.
Be natural: your dog should feel happy in the process, shoot as much footage as you can and play with shots and different angles.
Don’t force your dog: don’t make him do something against his will or expose him to dangerous or unpleasant situations, the right thing to do is to respect his dynamics and personality and avoid forcing him to do what we want him to do.
