Downers Grove Dog Training: Rebrand and Website Redesign
Downers Grove Dog Training had outdated branding, a hard-to-use website and a high bounce rate. Gadsly created a new logo and brand guidelines, redesigned the site with clear navigation and registration forms, and added local SEO and a blog. Website traffic rose 30%, bounce rate fell 40%, and inquiries and registrations increased.

Downers Grove Dog Training offers personalized, professional dog training. They wanted a modern brand and a website that would attract new clients and serve existing ones better, so they partnered with Gadsly on a full rebrand and website redesign.
The challenge
- Outdated branding: the logo and identity didn't reflect the quality of their training.
- Hard-to-use website: difficult to navigate and visually dated.
- Low engagement: visitors couldn't find what they needed quickly, so the bounce rate was high.
What we did
Rebranding
We worked closely with the team on a refreshed identity:
- Logo design: a clean, modern logo that reflects their dedication to training and their approachable style.
- Color palette and typography that convey trust, warmth and professionalism.
- Brand guidelines to keep every piece of marketing consistent.
Website redesign
We designed and built a new site focused on usability and engagement:
- Clear navigation: services, class schedules and contact information organized into obvious categories.
- Mobile optimization for every device.
- Better visuals: quality photos and video of training sessions and happy clients.
- Built-in forms for class registration and inquiries, so signing up takes fewer steps.
SEO and content
To grow organic traffic, we added local SEO and content:
- Keyword optimization for terms like "dog training in Downers Grove" and "personalized pet training services."
- A blog with tips, success stories and training advice.
The results
After the rebrand and site launch:
Brand
- Positive feedback from existing and new clients on the updated branding.
Website
- 30% increase in website traffic from SEO and better usability.
- 40% decrease in bounce rate as visitors stayed engaged longer.
