I started Kelton’s Doggy Trot on June 3rd, 2024 not even a year ago. I didn’t have a huge plan. I just knew I wanted to do something real, something that actually made a difference. I was and still am figuring myself out, trying to find direction, and honestly just looking for a way to move forward.
Over the year I have helped a lot of people build better relationships with their dogs, received 21 reviews from different clients, and started gaining some solid traction. I’ve worked with nervous pups to full blown reactivity, and I’ve learned more than I ever thought possible in such a short time (this is coming from someone who used to be very hard on himself and used to think I was stupid)
I’m not just training dogs im training myself to be better every single day. This past year has been about growth, building trust (with both dogs and people), and proving to myself that I’m capable of turning something I love into something real.
If you’ve worked with me, you already know I take this seriously. I’m all in whether it’s private sessions, structured walks, reactive rehab, or just helping a pup figure out how to exist in the world with confidence and an starting to find my purpose and build confidence myseld! When I need backup, I know who to call, and quite a few trainers definitely see a lot in me and I am greatful for each and every one of you who has and is still helped me grow even more in this field.
The crazy part?
All of this really started because of one dog.
Bruce wasn’t supposed to be the dog I met that day… but he changed my whole life.
He came from the desert, totally shut down and reactive. But for whatever reason, he trusted me. I said yes to taking him on when most people wouldn’t and in doing that, I found something worth fighting for. That bond turned into a passion. That passion turned into a business. And that business? It’s just getting started.
Bruce is still by my side. He’s confident now. Focused. Off leash even with high distractions and hes the dog people can’t believe is the same one from before. But I can because I’ve been there every step of the way. He’s the face of Kelton’s Doggy Trot.
This is more than just a job to me it’s my purpose.
And I’m thankful for every single person who’s trusted me to be part of their dog’s journey.
Can’t wait to see where this next year takes us especially after I becaome an Arsenal Canine Academy certified trainer!
