About Hope Retrievers
So Much to Train. So Little Time. That’s Where I come In. Hope Retrievers is owned and operated by Kelli Hope of Whitewright, Texas which is just 1 hour north of Dallas. Her love for the retriever began when she coached her first chocolate lab through gun dog training for her husband Jordan. From there she has trained and competed in many AKC hunt tests. This includes qualifying Retrievers for the AKC Master National in 2018, and 2019 Kelli is a 20 dog Professional Dog Training operation. This gives her adequate time with each dog to insure they reach their full potential. Hope Retrievers strives to bring out the best in YOUR retriever!

Kelli and Hope Retrivers obedience program was exactly what we needed to regain peace in our home. Our dog was almost 1.5 y.o. when she spent 6 weeks with Kelli and to be honest, I didn’t believe it could calm her down or change her, I thought she was too set in her ways already. I was convinced she would act perfect there but fall back into old habits back at home- but I was proven wrong- it totally worked!!! Kelli was an answer to prayers for us and we now have a much more peaceful home when our dog obeys and listens to commands and doesn’t run out of the house every time a door is barely open. If you are thinking about sending your dog to a trainer your search can stop here- Kelli is who you have been looking for!
We dropped him off today. She was really reassuring that everything will be fine! We will get to see him in a couple of weeks. Fyi...she does not take credit card...venmo, paypal, cash or check.
Kelli trained our lab puppy. Now she knows all of her manners. She can sit (and stay), heal, knows “place” and most importantly knows the meaning of “no,” sleeps through the night without whining and more. There is a night and day difference in her behavior. Our dog no longer rules our house. We highly recommend Hope Retrievers!
Kelli trained our 2 goldendoodles and gave us all the tools to make the transition from her facility training to our home training. The dogs are well behaved and learned very quickly the new rules applied at home!!! Thank you so much!
