Knallhart Kennels & Training Academy

Our experience getting our puppy was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. From the very start, we felt informed, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. The communication was excellent from conception all the way through pick-up, and we always felt like we knew what was happening and what to expect. One of the things we appreciated most was receiving frequent photos and updates throughout the waiting process. Being able to watch our puppy grow and develop before bringing them home made the experience so special and helped us feel connected from the very beginning. It was clear that our puppy was thoughtfully bred, well cared for, and given an excellent start in life. We also really appreciated all of the guidance and advice provided for raising our puppy after bringing them home. Having that continued support and knowledge available made the transition so much easier and gave us confidence that we were doing everything we could to give our puppy the best possible start. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. The communication, care, transparency, and dedication throughout the entire process truly exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-bred, healthy, and well-loved puppy from someone who genuinely cares about both their dogs and the families they go home to. Thank you Chelsey for the most amazing Newfoundland puppy!

I cannot recommend Knallhart Kennels and Training Academy enough. We have two Giant Schnauzers, Suki, 11, and Revi, 5. Revi had become so domineering and pushy that Suki was afraid to go outside to potty and sometimes had accidents in the house. We were at our wits’ end. I was hesitant about sending Revi to “overnight boot camp” for six weeks, but after speaking with Chelsey, the owner, I felt confident giving them a try. She listened, understood our situation, and had a thoughtful plan that addressed our real household dynamic, not just one dog’s behavior. The results have been incredible. When Revi came home, I felt prepared to handle her, and with the tools and training Knallhart provided, she began behaving beautifully. Almost four months later, things are about 95% better. Revi is calmer with Suki, responds to commands, and can now handle people coming to the door without excessive barking and jumping. Even our vet was shocked when I brought both dogs in together without any incident. Knallhart helped bring peace back into our home, and I am so grateful to Chelsey and her team. If you feel out of options with difficult dog behavior, contact Knallhart and discuss your situation with Chelsey.

My dog was part of the 4 week basic obedience training and he is a changed dog!! I can’t believe how much confidence and security he has gained, he is much more calm and happy. The structure Chelsey provided made his life infinitely better and our relationship with him is much stronger. We had tried a few different trainers before to help with overall manners and life skills, they were unsuccessful. I would send everyone looking to strengthen their bond with their dog to Chelsey!! She has a wonderful way of nurturing the dogs unique personality while providing them with skills to be successful everyday.

Chelsey and her team provide an exceptional training experience. We rescued our dog, Tigger, at 16 weeks of age with the goal of eventually having him serve as a therapy dog. Prior to working with Chelsey, we utilized a couple of different training programs with varying approaches. While Tigger was generally successful at home and in the office, he lacked some of the foundational manners and consistency necessary to confidently perform in a therapy setting. After researching several options, we contacted Chelsey to learn more about her program. Although we were initially hesitant about a board-and-train format, Chelsey took the time to thoroughly explain the process, answer our questions, and ensure we felt comfortable with the decision. Throughout the eight-week program, Tigger made remarkable progress. He developed greater impulse control, improved reliability in his behaviors, and gained the structure and consistency he needed. He no longer jumps when greeting people, demonstrates excellent recall, interacts appropriately with other dogs, walks politely on and off leash, and exhibits the calm, well-mannered demeanor we were hoping to achieve. Importantly, he has maintained his friendly and playful personality while learning when and where those behaviors are appropriate. Chelsey's commitment to our success extended well beyond the training program itself. Prior to Tigger's return, she visited my office and conducted a mock therapy session to help reinforce expectations and ensure a smooth transition into his working environment. This personalized approach provided valuable guidance and confidence as we continued his training at home and in the office. We are proud to say that Tigger is now a certified therapy dog and accompanies me to the office daily. He consistently demonstrates appropriate behavior with clients and has become a positive presence in our workplace. Chelsey's expertise, professionalism, and dedication to both dogs and their owners are evident in every aspect of her program. We highly recommend her and her team to anyone seeking a comprehensive training experience and lasting results.

I have epilepsy and a movement disorder that requires a dog that is attentive watching me paying close attention having his ears always on his nose always alert and able to go get me help. I depend and use a wheelchair to get around and before Chelsea and Knalhart I was using a different trainer and things were not going I was hoping to help me reach my independence goals, and have the Dog.

I’m gonna especially rare case with what we want my dog to do and needed my dog to get trained to do and he is now doing that perfectly.

He is definitely capable with the right Training and we will not let that happen to myself.
