If the ruff dog puns didn’t give it away, for this month’s #ObedientSpecWork we took on a dog performance gear company — Ruffwear — for a Slogan Challenge (the artist formerly known as The One-Liner Challenge). Both of Obedient’s founders are lifelong dog lovers and owners of rescue pups so it was time to put that knowledge to the test…in the form of a 20-minute challenge to come up with branded slogans. Cesar Millan, WHO?

The result? 5 campaigns, 23 slogans and another entertaining peek inside the brains of our founders. You can watch the brainstorm here:

Special shout out to Puffin and Mokey for having to keep getting their hopes up for 20 mins straight as their moms repeated their favorite words, “walk,” “park,” “treat,” over and over.
