Taking Dog Photos Without Eye Glare
I'm taking Christmas pictures of my puppies. But I can't keep from getting eye reflection. How can I avoid getting the reflection from there eyes?

If you're referring to catch-lights in their eyes, these can be a good thing. They help to add sparkle and life to your portraits (even with pets).
If you mean that you are getting flash reflections (red-eye), use a p/c cord, and hold the flash off to the side a little ... if you are using an external flash unit.If your flash is the pop-up, built-in type, use whatever red-eye reduction features your camera has.

I think you might be talking about that scary "glow" a dog's eyes get if the flash is on. I've had success with bouncing the flash off the ceiling. . .or above the dog's head, anything but directly at the dog's eyes. You can also turn the flash off, but then you need good natural light.

Great Answer, this can also be lessened by the body angle you have the animal in.
