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.

Let’s be honest—when’s the last time you actually looked at the “Meet the Team” section on your website? Not skimmed it. Not clicked past it. I mean really looked. If it’s been a few years, there’s a good chance that what’s up there doesn’t match the reality of your team today. Maybe Susan grew out her bangs, or Greg hasn’t worn a tie since 2019. Maybe two of the smiling faces in your header moved on ages ago—and yet, there they are, frozen in pixels like ghosts of small business past. It's nothing to be ashamed of. We've all been there. But here's the thing: your team photos aren't just filler. They're first impressions. They're trust-builders. And if they’re out-of-date, awkward, or clearly cropped from someone's wedding—well, you’re not exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Let’s talk about why updating those photos is one of the simplest, most effective ways to level up how people see your business. That “Stock Photo” Energy? Yeah, People Can Tell You know what’s worse than old team photos? Generic ones. We’ve all seen those painfully stiff group shots—everyone lined up like they’re auditioning for a corporate crime drama. Or worse, the fake handshake photos. (Why are those still a thing?) Customers and clients can smell fake a mile away. In a time when people crave authenticity—real faces, real stories—those overly polished, clearly staged images just don’t cut it anymore. What works? Real teams, real smiles, real settings. We recently worked with Women’s Integrated Health Care , which has locations in Grand Blanc, Clarkston, Davison, Fenton, Marlette, and Sandusky. Their team was incredible—warm, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. Our photo shoot focused on capturing that exact energy. Not just headshots, but moments that reflect how they care for their patients and support each other. That authenticity? It jumps off the screen.
