We are “dog people” as most people know just from visiting our about us page where we introduce Pieper (our rescue) as part of the photography team. As such, we photograph pups often and are full of tricks to get them to sit, stay, perk up, and come running when needed. All those skills were unnecessary when it came to Mattis and Deputy Dennis’s photo session this spring. Mattis is a trained K-9 officer for the Brown County Sheriff’s Department and so bribery and teasing were not necessary. He followed every command Nick gave (all of them in German), my favorite of which was platz! where he would just lay down immediately, wherever he was at. He is such a handsome dog and was such a good boy for his session.

As we finished up the photos, Lizzy joined the session along with their other dog, Callie, and it was funny to see how different Mattis interacted one-on-one with his doggy mom. Whereas with Nick he was at full attention, ears perked, direct eye contact, with Lizzy he had his tongue out, sat lazy to one side, and immediately rolled over for some belly rubs. Mattis lives at home with Nick and Lizzy and it was so obvious how much of a comfort Lizzy is to him. Both dogs did a great job and it was such a fun experience for us!
We love them! Thanks so much!
It was great working with you Kasey and appreciate all you did getting this setup for Nick &Lizzy (and the pups).
