Growth & Community Marketing Manager

About us

We’re two connected businesses built by and for the working dog sport community.

K9 Sports Nation (k9sportsnation.com) is the online home for working dog sports, bringing handlers, clubs and events together in one place.

K9 Sports Marketing (k9sportsmarketing.com) helps the businesses and clubs that serve this community grow their presence and reach more people.
