Hope Retrievers

We love Kelli, her family, and her team! The did suck a great job with our young chocolate lab. We set up Myrtle with the puppy school and basic gun dog program. We just got back from her first hunt and I was so proud of her and how she worked, all thanks to Kelli. We chose Kelli not only for her obvious talent with gun dogs, but her easy going and light heated personality is what we wanted our dog to be around and learn from. We’d happily drive the 4 hours to have her work with Myrtle again.

I wholeheartedly endorse Kelli and her exceptional dog training business! I enrolled my 2.5-year-old Dalmatian, Babe, in her advanced obedience course. Prior to Hope Retrievers, Babe's training was minimal, and she exhibited issues such as pulling on the leash and displaying aggression toward other dogs. Her behavior had worsened to the extent that I couldn't take her to public places or around other dogs. Thanks to Kelli and her team's dedication, Babe now excels in all commands. I have the utmost confidence in allowing her off the leash at the dog park and various public settings. The commitment Kelli and her team put into her training has made an incredible difference, and I'm genuinely grateful for their expertise!

My husband, Dennis, and I are happy to review Hope Retrievers! We have used them for Advanced Obedience and Boarding. The facility is spotless and ALL dogs are well taken care of at all times! Kelli is a patient person with a pleasing personality and she is kind. Kelli demonstrates a breadth of knowledge of dog behavior and applies it in a positive and loving way. Her staff is Kind, consistent , and knowledgeable! Daizy, our Labrador puppy, always gets excited when we pull up in front of her facility! We plan to use her facility for our new puppy’s training in August and Advanced Training in October. Without reservation, we highly recommend Hope Retrievers for Obedience Training and Boarding!

Kelli at Hope Retrievers did an amazing job with my sweet Golden Retriever, Gus! He went to Kelli at 7 months and returned knowing all of the basic obedience vocabulary and what to do when he hears it! A week after training, Gus went to the lake for a long weekend. Even with all the distractions, people, and temptations a lake area provides, Gus behaved like he had been using his manners for years! He was off leash the entire weekend and responded quickly every time asked! Everyone commented on how well behaved he was! But most importantly, Kelli took eceptional care of Gus while he was in her care. When Gus came home, he was still the same happy, playful, and loving dog that I sent to Kelli! Thank you Kelli!
