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.

We're excited to share a new website we recently designed and built for Goyette Service , a family-owned business headquartered in Flint, Michigan. Goyette has been serving homeowners and businesses throughout Mid-Michigan for generations, providing trusted plumbing, heating and cooling, electrical, sewer and drain, and commercial services. With so many services under one roof, their website needed to make it simple for customers to quickly find what they need. Behind Your Design worked with the Goyette team to reorganize and update the site with a fresh, modern look and a more user-friendly experience. Residential and commercial services are clearly separated, service information is easier to navigate, and 24/7 emergency service is prominently featured so customers can quickly find help when they need it most.
