About Me
Hi! I’m Kelli hope.
Professional Retriever Trainer
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!
