Over the last few months, we have been reminded how important professional relationships and community are within our industry.
As a small business, we have been incredibly fortunate to receive support from so many people along the way.
From new projects and opportunities, to welcoming new team members, participating in joint training days, and gaining access to venues and environments that help prepare our dogs for real-world work. Every opportunity has contributed to our growth and development.
It's the operational teams who have trusted us, the venues that have opened their doors, and the people who continue to support our dogs whether that's a quick pat, remembering their names, or showing up with treats because they know the dogs will appreciate them.
It's the people who have trusted me with dogs they've worked hard to develop. Whether they're moving into a new project or a new chapter, I never take that trust for granted. Being able to continue a dog's journey is a privilege, and I'm grateful to those who have placed that faith in me.
It's the mentors who generously share their knowledge, the trainers who challenge my thinking and engage in valuable discussions, and the professionals who are always willing to answer a question or offer a different perspective.
It's the handlers who make themselves available when opportunities arise, the trainers I am fortunate to call friends, and the people who step in and help whenever needed. And of course, my partner, who continues to support the business behind the scenes.
The photos below are a bit of a photo dump from the past few months. They capture some of the opportunities, projects, training days, deployments, dogs, and people that have been part of the journey. Looking through them is a good reminder of just how many people have contributed to where we are today.
To everyone who has supported K9 Bellator, trusted us, collaborated with us, or simply cheered us on—thank you.
We are genuinely grateful. 🩵
