"For the Dogs" Rescue Give Back Program

"For the Dogs" Give Back Program

About "For the Dogs" Program

I’m Nick Memphis, an award-winning photographer and professional dog trainer. I’ve spent decades working with dogs of all ages and backgrounds. Through my “For the Dogs” Give Back Program, I donate a portion of referrals back to local rescue partners, helping dogs thrive while supporting the organizations that care for them.

Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. Over the years, I’ve developed a unique set of skills — from reading body language and behavior to capturing personality through photography. But beyond technique, what drives me most is making a real difference in dogs’ lives and in the lives of the people who love them. I want every dog I meet to feel calmer, happier, and more understood.

With “For the Dogs”, I combine my experience, skills, and passion to give back in a meaningful way. Supporting rescues ensures that more dogs have access to care, training, and the chance to thrive in loving homes. It’s my way of doing my part, helping dogs and their humans build stronger, more connected relationships.

How it Works

"For the Dogs"
Give Back PROGRAM

Turning every session into support for rescues, one dog at a time.

Referral

Rescues, foster families, and adopters simply mention your organization when booking dog training, workshops, or pet photography sessions. There’s no extra cost or obligation—just a simple way to connect dogs with the support they need and ensure they receive guidance, enrichment, and care tailored to their individual needs.

Tailored Services

Every dog is unique. I provide customized educational training, workshops, and pet photography based on the dog’s age, temperament, and specific challenges. From private behavior sessions to engaging enrichment workshops, each experience is designed to build confidence, strengthen bonds, and support dogs in becoming calmer, happier, and more connected companions.

Give Back

After your session, a portion of your payment is donated back to the referring rescue. Virtual dog training sessions contribute 10%, in-person sessions 5%, and pet photography sessions 5%. Every session and referral helps provide food, medical care, enrichment, and guidance for dogs in need. Your participation supports the vital work of rescues, giving more dogs the chance to thrive and build happier, healthier lives with their families.

*5% discount applies to your first session. Not valid with follow-ups or discounted packages. 5% applies to pet photography sessions. 10% on virtual consultations.
