Real Dogs. Real Owners. Real Results.

Kimberly
30-Day Trained & Transferred Program
When Elizabeth enrolled her dog in our 30-Day Trained & Transferred Program, her goals were to address overexcitement, jumping, leash pulling, barking, and build confidence while creating more structure and calm in everyday life.
Throughout the program, her dog developed a strong foundation in sit, down, place, recall, door manners, loose leash walking, and heel. Through engagement exercises, confidence-building activities, and real-world training, she became more focused, made better decisions in distracting environments, and grew into a calmer, more balanced companion.
Elizabeth was so pleased with the results that she chose to continue with enrichment sessions to keep building on her dog’s progress.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The training has truly set our dog (and us!) up for long-term success. We’re incredibly grateful for everything Kelton has done and would highly recommend Kelton’s Doggy Trot to anyone looking to build a strong, positive foundation with their dog.”

Meegan
Loose Leash Walking & Behaviour
Meegan wanted a dog she could confidently enjoy in everyday life. Through practical training and consistent coaching, she saw significant improvements in leash manners, focus, and overall behaviour.
Today, she enjoys calmer, more relaxed walks and has the confidence to handle her dog in everyday situations.

“We can finally enjoy our walks again. Thank you for everything!”

Samantha
Behaviour Modification & Owner Education
When Samantha began training, her goal was to build better communication, improve obedience, and gain the confidence to handle her dogs more effectively. Throughout the program, she learned how to better understand their behaviour while building reliable obedience and structure in everyday life.
Today, Samantha feels far more confident handling her dogs and has the knowledge to continue their training long after the program ended.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Kelton didn’t just train my dogs—he taught me how to continue the training with confidence. I couldn’t be happier with the results.”

Puppy Foundations
Jessica wanted to give her puppy the best possible start by building confidence, teaching good manners, and preventing unwanted behaviours before they became habits.
Through structured training, engagement exercises, and clear owner coaching, her puppy developed a strong foundation in obedience, confidence, and everyday life skills while Jessica gained the knowledge to continue building on that progress at home.
That immediately separates it from the others.

Trigger
Behaviour Modification & Advanced Obedience
Trigger came to Kelton’s Doggy Trot as a high-drive German Shepherd who was becoming increasingly difficult to manage due to reactivity and unreliable obedience. His owner wanted to build better control, improve his behaviour in everyday situations, and give his natural drive a more productive outlet.
Through behaviour modification, structured obedience, and owner education, Trigger became calmer, more focused, and far more reliable in high-distraction environments. He also developed a strong foundation in heel, recall, place, and downs while gaining confidence through detection and tracking work.

Phoebe
Behaviour Modification & Confidence Building
Phoebe came to Kelton’s Doggy Trot to build better impulse control, improve loose leash walking, and develop calmer, reactivity towards dogs and more neutral behaviour around everyday distractions. As a rescue with a high prey drive, her owner wanted to strengthen her focus while helping her navigate real-world environments with greater confidence.
Through structured training, real-world exposure, and owner education, Phoebe made significant progress with loose leash walking, engagement, and impulse control. Her owner also gained the knowledge and confidence to continue building on these skills at home, creating lasting results beyond the training program.

Kimberly Halen
Rocco
Behaviour Rehabilitation
When Rocco began training, he was a young rescue dog struggling with reactivity, jumping, leash pulling, poor boundaries, and becoming overly excited whenever someone came to the door. His owners felt his behaviour had become increasingly difficult to manage and wanted to build a calmer, more enjoyable relationship with him.
Through consistent training, structure, and owner education, Rocco developed better impulse control, reliable obedience, and calmer behaviour both at home and in public. Just as importantly, his family gained the knowledge and confidence to continue reinforcing those behaviours long after the program ended.
