Team Training Day 9, Grange Co-op, Art & Movie ~ 6/20/16

Today was a very exciting and somewhat exhausting day as it was the class's first real opportunity to challenge themselves out in the real world. 

We spent our time doing a lot of ordinary, everyday things like navigating a store, going to a restaurant. Given time, taking a dog along on these outings will become just as natural as anything else, but for now it's all new and different so it's going to take a lot of time to get used to. 

For this reason we will spend the next week taking the pups out in public as much as possible. Like they say, practice makes perfect!

We started the morning off by going to the Grange Co-op, a local pet supply store, so the class could pick up some much needed things for their future furry friends and also practice working a dog in a place with plenty of distractions like other dogs, bunnies, chicks, treats and squeaky toys, and more.

Then we drove to The Haul for some nourishment and walked to the the Grants Pass Museum of Art to enjoy some the beautiful exhibit featuring local artists. Some of the kids even got to be sketched!

A BIG thank you to Hyla Lipsom for making our visit to the museum possible.

Lastly, we closed the day with a showing of Finding Dory at Southgate Cinemas. It took a bit of ingenuity but everyone succeeded in getting the dogs safely clear of the isles. Spilled popcorn made for great "leave it" practice!


Tune in tomorrow to hear about our latest ventures and get read the newest bio!

Team Training Day 7, A Day of Rest ~ 6/18/16

Today is a much needed day off for everyone. We'd like to take this opportunity to introduce Jennifer of Jennifer Butler Photography. Jennifer has graciously given freely of her time and talent in capturing special moments for Canine Angels. 

Jennifer Butler

Choosing a photographer can feel like the most overwhelming decision ever. You want someone who will be passionate about the project as they absorb the fleeting beauty of that moment with all the urgency a photographer can feel.

A photograph can capture everything you want to remember. For instance, not only does a portrait show you the way you look -- it shows the love you feel, the laughter you share, and the memories you made. Its purpose is to remind you of the more beautiful moments of your life, and allow you to relive them time after time.

One of the distinguishing characteristics about Jennifer is her appreciation for natural light and her environmental settings. She creates images that speak of life’s greatest moments and purest joys in an evocative yet simple way. The timeless expression and elegance of Jennifer Butler Photography ensures that every piece will become a family treasure.

Always in love with children, her work is driven by her passionate advocacy for special needs children. Her intention is to share their joyful spirits, capturing their beauty during intimate everyday moments. Through exhibits of these visual stories, viewers can appreciate that every child equally deserves the respect and opportunities deserved by all.

When not working, or busy with photo conferences and instructing adults with disabilities on taking pictures, Jennifer can be found growing organic vegetables, cooking and making her own dog food for her 3 spoiled dogs and 1 lazy cat in rural Southern Oregon.
