What we found
before we drew anything

Every line below was checked against the live site, the sitemap, the Good Dog listing and the public record. The point is the gap between what this business is and what its website says it is.

Start here

This is on the Services page of theironcanine.com right now — the page where a protection-dog and law-enforcement training business is supposed to sell.

“Our Services. Embark on an unparalleled journey with our premium travel essentials, designed to fuel your adventures with unbridled energy and performance.”

Voyage Velocity — $99. “Unlock the world with unprecedented speed. Experience top-tier travel planning that propels you to stunning destinations effortlessly.”

Voyage Vanguard — $149. “Bespoke itinerary crafting and expert insights…”

Velocity Expeditions — $199. “High-octane outdoor adventures, designed for thrill-seekers who crave the rush of the wild.”

It is the Squarespace demo content, never replaced. Anyone who clicks Services — a handler, a department, a family shopping for a protection dog — is offered travel packages. Four of the photographs still on the site are the template's stock images too.

The rest of the site

Each of these takes under a minute to check.

Pages: Five, and one of them sells travel Home, about, services, contact, appointments. Nothing for the kennel, nothing for agencies, nothing for any individual program.
Search description: Empty The home page's meta description is a blank string, so Google writes its own from whatever it finds first.
Services named on the home page: Three, none of them clickable Advanced Competition Obedience, Custom Training Programs, Sport Protection Training — listed as headings that link nowhere.
The kennel: Not mentioned anywhere They breed German Shepherds — sable, black and bi-color — and are screened and listed on Good Dog. The website does not say so once.
Agency work: One sentence, buried in About Consulting to law enforcement agencies across the U.S., plus guest instruction at Police K9 Magazine and K9 Cop Magazine conferences. That is the most credible thing here and it is a clause in a paragraph.
Business email: The.Iron.Canine@gmail.com On a domain they already own. A department checking a vendor notices.
Where they are: The website still says Kentucky. They are in Texas. theironcanine.com gives 88 Airport Rd, Frankfort KY on every page. Facebook and Good Dog both say Canyon, TX — and the Good Dog health guarantee still quotes “KY state regulations”. Anyone searching for a trainer near them is being told the wrong state.
The photography: Genuinely good, and wasted Bite work in the suit, a shepherd mid-air on the sleeve, hurdle work, real portraits. This is not a client who needs a shoot first. Everything on the concept is their own.
The new identity: The cards are the whole design Forged iron, carved letterforms, and a deck where the suit is a paw print. Nothing had to be invented — the concept is their own logo, applied.

What changed, and why

Now

Services page sells travel packages
Three services named, none explained
Breeding invisible
Agency work in a subordinate clause
Rachel's story at the bottom of an About page
Template stock photos beside real ones

The concept

Five programs, each a card you turn for the detail
The family as the face cards — King, Queen, Jack
The kennel given its own section, linked to Good Dog
Agency K9 as a credential ledger a department can scan
Their photographs treated to match the engraved plates
One enquiry form that asks about the dog, not the visitor

Where the colours came from

Nothing here was picked for them. The greys are the forged iron of their own mark. The red came off the training blind in their own photographs.

#9BA0A6 Pewter, from the axe heads

#9C0000 Sampled off the training blind
