From the Heart Dog Training

May 27, 2020

Let Hands to Paws help you build a positive and clear relationship with your pets!

Hands to Paws, LLC is a dog training program designed to give owners lasting results through practical, positive, and relationship-focused exercises. Owner, Heather Kitchen, is an experienced teacher and knows that training is an important part of any dog’s life. She believes training should be enjoyable for both the dog and the owner, helping to positively enhance their relationship.

Heather was just 14 years old when she first fell in love with training dogs. At the time she was a dedicated horseback rider when her circuit decided to have a competition for dogs around the show. She entered her 3-year-old lab into the competition and started training her through 4-H obstacles. When the day finally came to compete, Heather noticed many owners were struggling to control their dogs. They were either yelling at their dogs for obedience or relying on a tight leash to keep them under control. Heather, however, knew that her dog didn't need the leash. She confidently removed it and together, she and her dog completed the trail course with ease. In the end, she ended up getting first place with 98/100 points! After that, Heather knew she had a natural understanding of dogs and wanted to work towards helping others bond with their animals through understanding, instead of ownership. 

Today, Hands to Paws, LLC is a highly regarded training program with services ranging from private in-home lessons to virtual classes via Zoom, Facebook of Skype. She also offers in-depth training packages for dogs of all experience levels.

Branded apparel doesn’t have to mean choosing one shirt, one color and hoping everyone likes it. A custom online store gives people more ways to find something that fits their personal style while still representing your brand. At Behind Your Design, we create custom pop-up stores year-round for businesses, organizations, teams, events and special campaigns. With more options for apparel styles, colors, sizes and decoration methods, a custom store can turn branded apparel into something people are genuinely excited to order and wear. A Fresh Take on Pure Barre Apparel We recently created custom stores for Pure Barre that show just how much personality you can bring to branded apparel. For our local Pure Barre studio, we created a collegiate-inspired collection featuring block chenille lettering reminiscent of classic game-day apparel. It gave the Pure Barre brand a completely different look while still feeling cohesive, recognizable and wearable. We also created a seasonal Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness store that was made available to Pure Barre studios across the country. The collection combined a timely theme with a larger purpose, giving studios access to special apparel while also supporting a breast cancer fundraiser. These stores can be seasonal, tied to a fundraiser or event, or simply created to give your brand a fresh, creative twist.

Reusable bags are one of those promotional products that just make sense. They’re practical, versatile and give your brand plenty of room to be seen. But there’s always one problem: remembering to actually bring them with you.  That’s what makes a foldable reusable bag such a smart option. Instead of taking up space when it’s not being used, it folds down into a compact size that’s easy to keep close by. Toss it in a purse, backpack, glove compartment or desk drawer, and it’s ready when you need it.
