Update

Okay so I am happy to say that the Canadian Family Paws issue has been resolved.  It was not pretty but...it is over.  I am glad.
Moving forward I will add that it did come down to official trademark registration being in our favor etc.  I have learned a great deal from this situation.  Glad we have a strong legal team behind our programs.

Ok Helen visited and that was so great to just hang out and meet in person.  We did some fun short video clips which we hope to have soon for the site and for new presenters.  it was great to spend time and meet in person finally. I am so fortunate to have such a great partner in crime!  LOL

I am putting the exclusivity application in the files section.  You may begin to submit these to me asap.

Our new site is being worked on and we are on track for Jan to launch.
I am excited about the New Year and look forward to moving forward with you all.  We really love seeing the renewals coming in!  It reminds me of what a great team we have.  So much ahead for us to accomplish!
If you have submitted your renewal we will be getting your new license agreement to you very shortly.
Thanks everyone for your support.  It helped me alot with the trademark issue!

lessons learned

Folks, I have to say that I am learning some very expensive lessons through this experience.  This trainer in Edmonton is making things very challenging for Family Paws at this time.  We are continuing to pursue this legally which is expensive and emotionally draining.  My message to you all is that if you LOVE your business trademark and your name and do not wish it to be taken in another country or anywhere then go ahead and file trademark and scoop up domain names connected to it.  

We are continuing to battle it out and there is not an end in sight.  This is NOT what I ever expected from a brand new trainer.  It has gotten rather rediculous but in order for our presenters in alberta to be able to use family Paws branding we really must fight this all the way.  

So, please keep me in mind and know that I am doing my best always to protect what I have built and what you are all so proud of.  I am learning ALOT and am grateful for that but I am drained emotionally, mentally and otherwise.  So, please keep me in your thoughts and sending comforting thoughts about a peaceful resolution.

Thanks

Jen

Planning ahead for events

Just a reminder that Helen and I, like all of you are VERY busy.   Many times we have been contacted in urgent states due to someone leaving preparation to the last minute  This creates stress for you which often spills over onto us.  Please let's do our best to avoid this by planning ahead.  Helen and I are happy to help anyone plan ahead!

We really do our best to be supportive and answer things in a timely manner.  Please try emailing and calling Helen or I but also know that we will get back to you when we are able too.  PLEASE prepare well in advance for any presentations and Always test run your dvd's well before you need them.  I am happy to send a new one if there is a problem.

Always remember the files section has information for the password protected site.  Due to the rebranding we are updating sites so I will be relying on this section until things are set with the new site.
File section here has log in information along with logos etc.


IF YOU ARE A DABC presenter and are not on the DABC yahoo group please email me at info@dogsandstorks.com and I will invite you.

If you need something and do not get a reply from us right away please call.  We are happy to help and can answer questions promptly but also are running homes and our own personal business too.

Thank you everyone!
Jen & Helen
