Dog training built for real life 🐾

Every dog is different, which means training shouldn’t look exactly the same for every dog either. I work with everything from leash pulling, overexcitement and reactivity to confidence building, obedience and better everyday manners.

The goal is more than just teaching commands it’s helping dogs become more confident, responsive and easier to live with while giving owners the tools and understanding to keep that progress going outside of training.

Hanna is a pretty social girl, but she doesn’t easily trust or build a relationship with many people, so a big part of her training right now is building that trust and confidence with me.

Today we worked through some different obstacles and environments without her owner being there which is huge, for a dog like Hanna! giving her a little guidance when needed but also letting her figure things out on her own. The goal is for her to learn that she can work through things she is unsure about, recover, and become more confident each time.

Really happy with how much she is starting to open up!

Zeke did really well at Bass Pro for his first-ever outing! He spent most of the time in “break” with freedom on the Flexi, and I sprinkled in a bit of obedience and confidence-building throughout. This was really good exposure work for him, especially considering he used to get overwhelmed by almost everything and would become quite fixated on movement, sounds, and things in the environment. There was another dog there as well, and Zeke stayed neutral for the most part, although he was a little curious.

A little confidence building, a little fun, and a whole lot of progress

Bruce has been by my side through so much, and he’s a huge part of the reason I fell in love with dog training in the first place. He’s taught me patience, helped me grow as a trainer, and continues to teach me something new all the time. Pretty lucky to have this big guy beside me

Day 8 with Kesar, we worked on building confidence while introducing the prong collar. Kesar already understands her basic obedience and leash guidance on a flat collar, so now we are slowly starting to layer in the prong with a bit of very light guidance.

With puppies I really like to focus on motivation before accountability.

Introducing light guidance early also helps teach puppies how to follow pressure without making it a big deal. Lots of play, rewards and small wins while slowly building more structure and reliability as she grows!

Welcome Hana!

Hana will be working with me over the next 4 weeks focusing on confidence building, obedience, loose leash walking, and helping her become more comfortable in new situations.

She’s a very sweet and sensitive girl, so a big part of our work will be building trust, creating clear communication, and helping her learn that she can look to her handler for guidance when she’s unsure.

I’m excited to get started with her and see how much she grows over the next few weeks!

Welcome Kieser!

Please help me welcome Kieser, a five-month old Golden Retriever who has officially started her 30 day Trained & Transferred program with Kelton’s Doggy Trot!

Kieser is a friendly, energetic puppy who is eager to learn. Throughout the program, we’ll be working on calm greetings, reducing jumping and puppy nipping, basic obedience, recall, place, loose leash walking, impulse control, engagement, confidence in new environments, and better overall household manners.

I’m excited to help Kieser build a strong foundation and become a calmer, more confident, and well-mannered young dog. Stay tuned to follow her progress!

Off-leash foundations with Roo. 🐾

No e-collar. No leash. Just clear communication, consistency, and the foundation we’ve been building every day.

Real reliability starts with teaching the dog to understand what’s expected not relying on equipment.
