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.

Bringing Detroit’s Iconic Beverage Distributor to Life: Our Work with Eastown Distributors We recently had the pleasure of partnering with Eastown Distributors, a multi-generational, family-owned business with deep roots in Detroit’s history, on a brand-new website and photoshoot. Our goal was to showcase not only their products but also the legacy and reach of this iconic local company. The photoshoot started at sunrise in downtown Detroit, capturing some of the city’s most prominent locations that Eastown proudly delivers to, including Comerica Park, Fox Theatre, and Ford Field. These early-morning shots highlighted Eastown’s presence in the heart of the city and set the stage for a story that connects the brand to Detroit itself. We also ventured into everyday business operations, photographing merchandisers as they stocked shelves at grocery stores, and visiting independent retailers and neighborhood pubs to show Eastown products in action. This mix of iconic landmarks and real-world environments brought a sense of authenticity to the campaign, illustrating the company’s reach and dedication to its customers. On the digital side, the new website features a BrandFinder tool, making it easy for users to discover which brands Eastown distributes and where to find their favorite beverages. This user-friendly feature ensures that fans of Eastown’s products can quickly locate them, whether at local pubs, grocery stores, or specialty retailers. Working with Eastown was exciting because it allowed us to highlight both the people and the places that make the company such a vital part of Detroit’s beverage landscape. From family legacy to modern operations, this project celebrates everything that makes Eastown Distributors unique, and we’re proud to have brought their story to life online and through photography.
