At Kelton’s Doggy Trot, I use a balanced, relationship-based training approach that prioritizes clear communication, structure, and trust. While I stay as positive as possible, I also use fair corrections when needed—especially with larger breeds or more intense behaviours. Every dog is different, so I adapt my methods to suit each individual while building confidence, obedience, and a strong bond between dog and handler.

Training Services I Offer

Puppy Training

Laying the foundation for success with socialization, crate training, housebreaking, bite inhibition, and foundational obedience to help raise a well-balanced, confident dog.

Impulse Control & Focus

Helping dogs manage excitement, improve self-regulation, and stay engaged in various environments to reduce overstimulation and prevent unwanted behaviours.

Behaviour Modification & Rehabilitation

Addressing excessive barking, jumping, leash reactivity, aggression, and over-excitement through practical strategies that manage triggers, lower stress, and increase handler control.

Problem Prevention & Boundaries

Establishing clear expectations early to prevent common issues like counter-surfing, door-dashing, and destructive habits—while promoting self-control and structure.

Confidence Building & Exposure

Using guided socialization, structured training, and real-world experiences to help dogs become more adaptable, resilient, and comfortable in new or challenging situations.

For dogs beyond my current experience level, I always recommend Sam Coulter at CoulterK9.

While I’m currently taking a course and do work with some reactivity and aggression cases, I believe in putting the dog’s best interest first. For more complex or severe behavioural issues, Sam is an excellent resource with extensive experience in this field.
