So...What is it that you need to get awesome pictures?
First off - the camera.
Point and shoot, DSLR Digital Camera even a cellphone camera.
Second - location.
The good thing about this one is that a good photo can be taken anywhere. I mean there are advantages on choosing a controlled environment when you have a specific composition in mind but your porch, bathtub, backyard, just anywhere in the house will be a good scenario to take a good picture.
Third Plan ahead
Lighting - Photography is the "art" of writing an image with light -even if you are using a digital camera this principle is still valid.
If you overexpose or underexpose a picture you will get crappy results and yes...there are always creative ways to save a photo by using Photoshop or any other photo editing software but a good picture can also be altered afterwards, so just try your best to get a well exposed shot from the beginning.
Think about what you are shooting...Where is the light source coming from? Is it natural or artificial light? Is your subject in front of the light source? Are you going to use "flash"? Do you want to create a certain mood by using the shadows?
"The use of light in a photograph can be the deciding factor of whether that picture will be spectacular or terrible."
"Props"
Just because you are shooting at home does not mean you have to rely on "good fate" for a cool moment to arise when you can create it!
Use toys, fabric, water, chairs, toilet paper...be creative and let your dog be himself and have fun with whatever prop you choose.
And last but certainly not least have patience.
Most of the time one single shot will not do it...shoot, shoot, shoot.
The more you shoot, the best are your chances of an awesome photograph!
