Month: January 2018

One thing we love about being in the Richmond area is watching this city, and our clients grow over the years. Lenny & Stephanie at Breakthrough K9 Training– a strictly board and train business, have been clients of ours since our early days. Last year they built a fully functioning kennel space that they are already outgrowing. An appealing website and good SEO work account for 3/4ths of their new business We are excited to announce that they were both able to leave full-time jobs to pursue their passion for dog training. It all started with their rescued Rottweiler, Tug. Lenny and Stephanie have been training and rehabilitating dogs for over ten years, and have seen great success with rescued adult dogs, as well as puppies and client dogs. You can learn more about them in the video below:
