Photo requirements for Whining Dog Meme

• A dog sitting up or lying with its head up, about one to two meters away, at the dog's eye level or a little above.
• Daylight or a bright room, eyes open, mouth closed or relaxed. No flash glare in the eyes.
• Nothing in front of the face: no hand, toy, leash or second pet.
• One dog per photo. With two animals, the model may pick the wrong one or merge them.
• Only your dog comes from the photo: the sofa, the room and the camera come from the AI Doberman clip.

Troubleshooting Whining Dog Meme

• --- — ---
• Your dog gets pointed ears or a black-and-tan coat — The dog in the clip is a Doberman. The prompt keeps your dog's own ears and coat; a sharp photo where they are clear helps. Run it again.
• The mouth moves are small, or come a little early or late — The mouth follows the clip's timing, not the sound itself. Run it again for a new take.
• Your dog looks less like its photo — Use a sharper photo in daylight, with the face turned to the camera.
