You can set the camera on the ground or something to take it with a timer or screenshot stills from a video.

That's a good idea

Also don’t take it with a harness or collar on cause then you won’t be able to see anything hahah

hhhhhng ok

can you get him to stand still with food? Even for a second LOL with the timer on the camera. And/or teach him a “stand” command. Very helpful LOL also, you can capture a “free stack” picture where he kind of stacks on his own or stands still for a sec, take a pic of that. Not perfect but something LOL

currently his 'stand' command is 'stand up from your sit or down' and we haven't moved it to 'stay standing in one spot' yet
I'm also worried that if I tried to do the leg thing or the head/tail thing, he'd be weirded out and move

It takes time. Teach one part at a time. Maybe just get him to stand still first. Then introduce the leg stuff later after he’s already standing well. And just move one at a time and only a teeny bit. Put it back if he moves it. It also might help to get him to stand on some cans or something.

Should I introduce a separate command or no?

Probably but idk. And yesssss! I wanna make Brew one too or you can buy a people one for cheaper than the dog ones lol and idk, I just saw some people put cans for where their paws are supposed to be and it helps apparently. They have special rubber stackie things too

Which is just a tabletop with a banister thing for the 'wobble' part, and some grip tape for ease of grippiness
