Society constantly evolves, and things steadily progress in our culture. Each year we get our minds blown with new medicines, technological achievements and scientific breakthroughs, and someone even managed to make a pack of dogs to stand still for a photo.
That someone is Woofpack animal daycare and training center in Miami, Florida. The brilliantly named Woofpack daycare center, run by talented trainers Sandra and Jose, has achieved an enviable feat of taking the most perfect pictures of large packs of dogs. Of course, it's not exactly part of the service that they officially provide. It's more of a thing they do for fun, but most dog owners know how impressive it is to make even one dog stand still for a photo.

These photos are amazing feats- but I can't help but notice there isn't a single pug among the group. Stubborn little buggers.....
I have photographed too many weddings where it was impossible to get the guests to form a shape like this! They have my absolute admiration.
Here's what they had to say to Bored Panda. “We provide a home-like environment as an education dog daycare. For the pictures, we practice a lot ‘sit’ and ‘stay’ commands, even with clients that are not doing training with us… the pictures aren’t something offered with the service, it’s just the way we have fun with them, hehe. And at the end, we end up having a better bond with them because of the structure and discipline we provide.”
If I didn’t see this picture I never would have believed it. You are amazing!
Couldn't help but notice the Cairn Terrier didn't appear in most of the photos...know why? It was just out of the shot while chasing the damn squirrels and ignoring most commands. Signed: A Cairn Mom
The key to all of this "discipline magic" is training. Dog training, which is an application of behavior analysis which uses environmental events of antecedents, is essential for dogs in order for both the trainer and the dog to be happy. There are known cases of dog training dating back to Roman times, but modern dog training goes back to the 1950s, as it developed along with suburbanization.
Rarely snows in Florida, but when it does it's usually northern Florida like Jacksonville.

Non-associative training modifies behavior through habituation and sensitization. Operant conditioning is a type of behavioral training where a dog forms an association between an antecedent and its consequence.
I couldn't even get my stuffed animals sitting so perfectly next to each other when I was a kid.
Dog owners are very aware of the fact that there are tons of ways to train your dogs, each having their own critics and proponents. There's the Koehler method, clicker training, motivational training, electronic training, model-rival training, dominance-based training, and relationship-based training. The key to choosing the right type of training is knowing your dog's attributes and personality, accurate timing of reinforcement or punishment, and consistent communication.
How the hell do you even get them to be so still and posey, in all of these photos, this is some downright sorcery there
Is it just me or is this photoshopped? The dog on the left doesn't look like they have their butt on the actual post?
the top of the post has a slant its not flat so the dog is basically doing its best to sit properly

did these get sent home in their knapsacks, like in school. And you are supposed to put your dollar in the bag to pay for it?
Maybe it's my brain but two of them on the right are posing is a very suspicious way, and their faces approve.
None of these pictures show any dachshunds. I'd be a lot more impressed if they'd wrangle dachshunds to pose like this!
Wow, they all look so well-behaved! Dogs are just the best, I wish I could spend my entire day with dogs ❤️
I can't even get my dog to stay in one place!

We can hike with them off lead and they listen but to ask them to sit side by side and wait while I try to take their picture, not going to happen. These pictures were marvelous. Thank you for sharing.
I was thrilled and told as many people who would listen when I got all six of my dogs to sit at the same time. These people are awesome!
